Hi all as my next build I have the Trinny and the X section. I'm planning on doing the X section first with a bit of custom job on the inside. My idea is to have her looking like the night before battle with the guns run in and tables in between the guns . I won't be starting it for a while but I would like to put lighting in so what's the best lamps to get at 1.90 scale. Any help greatly appreciate Martyn Building ? Completed. Soliei Royal . Sovereign of the Seas . Virginia . Scotland . San Felipe . Corel vasa , Santisima Trinadad X section , Vasa Next Build ? When sailors have good wine, They think themselves in heaven for the time.

Lighting kits for scale models...

You might also want to consider ditching the wires in favour of copper tape strands which are easier to hide

Cheers Tom I have been racking my brain on how to hide the wires but the copper tape is a brilliant idea Martyn Building ? Completed. Soliei Royal . Sovereign of the Seas . Virginia . Scotland .

Lots of other useful stuff and ideas available when you search the site. l e d lightingGood luck when you start the build. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
