Hi all looking for some views and opinions please.
I will be getting stuck into this build in 2 or three months time...
http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=15092
, due to its size it would be a crime not to add Lights, smoke and sound. The manufacturer recommend some bits n bobs but I was interested in forum members views on best kit and brands for smoke units, sound units and the best way of tackling the lighting – not done any of this before so any views appreciated.
I will be RCing this to so any vews on that also welcome.

Initially you need to determine what power you intend to use, be it 6v or 12v

Hi Jase, Perhaps you can consider LED strips for ambient interior lighting. Each one is about 50mm x 10mm & has 3 LED's. They require a 12volt DC supply. They can be daisy chained together and are easy to install. In South Africa they are available from electronic dealers & specialist lighting retailers. There is also a waterproof version that may work in a RC model. Hope this helps, Kind regards, Garth "Measure twice, cut once!!!" Finished!!! HMS Victory, Current build: Black Pearl. On hold: Bismarck, Golden Hind, Flying Scotsman, Victory Cross Section, SOTS, Tiger 1. Wish list: USS Constitution.
