Hi All
I've decided to give it a go, so here's a few progress pics.
This is just the main shape cut from 1.5mm styrene.
A bit of this and that to give it some support.
More tubing and stuff added plus lights.
A pic to show the lights without the flash.
The lights are Ikea cabinet lights. I noticed a post here about them, I think it was on the ironman thread...I can't find the darn thread now..but Thanks very much to whoever that was, I had no idea these lights exhisted but for that post. I had a friend of a friend add the LEDs for the headlights to the curcuit. It needed to have the voltage reduced for the LEDs 'cos the Ikea set puts out 12v, and electronics is not my thing.
I'm gonna add one of the round set...see below..for the cockpit lights, and I have three of the striplight set installed for the engine lights. I wanted to use all four so it was really bright, but couldn't cram four in.
It needs diffusing a bit, I thought I could stick some alu foil inside to hopefully even out the light, and add a blueish tint if I can.
Round IKEA | Integrated lighting | Bookcase integrated lighting | DIODER | Multipurpose lighting
Strip IKEA | Integrated lighting | Bookcases integrated lighting | DIODER | Lighting strip
Anyway, there you go..there's a loooooong way to go yet and I'm not even sure that I will finish this. There's areas that I'm still not sure about, that I hope I can figure out when I get to them. We'll see..
Cheers
