hi all new to this but i was thinking of puting light inside the build,as ive seen it done on other builds but not sure of the best way of doing this. Can any one give me any ideas, had thought about puting in flashing exmas lights in be hind the gun ports,but would like to light the back cabin as static lights ?

Any help or ideas would be a help

Thanks Brian

I have started just using simple LEDs from Maplins

http://forum.model-space...t.aspx?g=posts&t=993

Just finished wiring the LEDs to the mains via a 12v power pack. I was using a 12v battery box that I didn't like as I would have to have access to the pack to change the batteries. I have used the power pack from an old radio which plugs into the ship via a round 6mm socket so all I have to do is mount the socket somewhere discrete.

I have mounted the LEDs using small block connectors. That way I can bend the LED wires into the exact position that I want them in. I just run the wires where they can't be seen. Obviously this does require some drilling of the gun decks.

If you are going to follow this example - the best tip is to use very thin wires as you need to bend some round tight corners.

Another tip - if you are buying your LEDs from Maplins, decide roughly how many you need. They only stock 2 - 4 of any kind !!!!

Hi bripfc.....i do not know if they do a flicker l.e.d.....but you can get a variable resistor .....that will dimm the bulbs....they work like a dimmer switch...hope this helps...

I just run them where I can - I decide first where I want illumination fix the LED to a block connector and then just run wires where I can.

Numbers on the pack of LEDs are:

63.05.B4 CJ68

048-0077483

Hope this helps mate

I did at first when I used 6v LEDs but then I changed to 12v LEDs with a 12v power supply.
