Cheers,
I was not brave enough to buy the dreadbox Hades DIY kit, when it was available, which was a big mistake, but since then I've learned DIY, and decided to make a real DIY on stripboard.
After 3 months of careful planning, yesterday, the final, most difficult module was finished (VCO).
And yes, I made it on separate modules.
Everything seems working, just a few final tweaking remained (maybe getting the VCO tracking perfectly will be a bit harder work...).
I intend to share the layouts with the community, if Yiannis will allow it.
I plan to release two or three versions. One pure vanilla, based on the schematics, and in the most compact and easy form.
And there will be an extra version, with added mods, and bigger layouts, with 16 pin eurorack connectors and more comfortable jack wiring (bringing all the connections to the front of the module), and with mounted switches.

I tested every module, all are working perfectly; for a foretaste, here is the first test of the VCO. I used an LFO for CV in, and fed it into the Hades VCF, that is all yet (no EG, no VCA):
