hi Bameraam, lovely decking and working lights design,and the graphics are excellent,will be keeping my good eye on this build.

Holiday for me, so work advances quite a bit

Milled out the LED spaces, the wire holes & the wire gutters:




Best regards!

Excellant deck work and the frame ,top job,speechless about the rest

Hi Bam very nice work Agreat enhancement Kind regards Mike

Looks fantastic mate. Can I ask where u got all the lighting equipment from as I'm building HMS hood and would love to light it up

brilliant mate,can I make a comment 'bout your wood pillars.instead of using dowel(round)why not us square section top and bottom as spacers,it gives the pillars a more authentic look.you can still get the same dimensions as you've already got.but what a great looking ship,well done mate.

I should have been clearer mate,square base piece and square top piece,and you adjust the thickness to suit the height of the pillar.
the dowel(our word for round wood lengths)if the dowel is 6mm,then use 6mm square wood lengths,if the space from deck to ceiling is 30mm. pillars cut at 25mm.and square spacer of 3mm.and 2mm. 3mm. base and 2 mm.for the top of the pillar.hope that is clearer.and keep up the good work. so lets recap one pillar= 6mmx3mm sq,base, 25mm x 6mm pillar and 6mm x2mm sq.top piece.I wish I had a pic to show so much easier. or keep me mouth shut,and not get involved,

it's an unfair world why have some people got soooooo much skill and others have not much????????---------------------->gonna go and hide in a corner and cry. those graphics

Hi Bam
Thanks for the info on the free software downloaded it straight away iv been looking for something like this for a while and nice enhancments with the lights
regards

[quote=S2ksean]Are these any good and if so what else will I need and where would I get them from

Well i think they might do well. A non-LED won't last as long
In any case, its better to order like 5pcs for example & see what effect you get before you purchase a lot of them.

As these are not LEDs, you won't need a serial resistor to limit the current, so you can ommit that

So far as i understand what you'll do, this is what you need:
Power supply providing the voltage + current mentioned (of ALL lights that you'll fit, need to sum up the current & the PS should be able to deliver that current)
wire to connect all light bulbs together in parallel
wire stripper to remove the insulation
soldering iron
solder 1mm diameter (take the one with lead, solders better)
shrink sleeve (optional)
some tantal capacitors rated for the voltage & with adequate capacity (will improve stability of the light)
Some means of connection once the boat is finished, perhaps a mono audio jack set? (Edit: make sure the Powersupply is set off when making connection with this, there's a risk of shorting the ground & power when making the connection)

I also recommend going by a local electronics shop, they'll provide explanation too (& solution based on your description what you want to achieve). Everything listed above should be purchaseable in that same shop
