Oh look a ship... Never seen one of those on here... 😛 😛 Joking, mad love for your skills!! Is this ship going to have any lights?? What you have so far looks great!

Love the tiny Fire Scout.

Chris Greathouse
*psssstt, hey Nathan, quietly* Which one is the Fire Scout?

Nathan Dempsey
The super tiny helicopter on the finger tip.

Chris Greathouse
They all look tiny, but yeah that's super tiny!

Thanks guys! The fire scout was a fun little piece, I just hope the PE holds up and doesn't get knocked off. And I'm not sure about lights, although they would be very cool I haven't really found any good references for what to do

What did you use for the hangar lighting? Is that a side-glow fiber optic strand? Led behind some clear plastic sprue?

James Steel Auteur
@Reaper_lead I was just holding a mini RC lightbar behind the plastic. Going to try some 0605 RGB lights for the final effect, that way I can do the teal lighting or red for night. Maybe I should put a photoresistor in the base to detect night mode

Reaper_lead
That was my plan as well with the photoresistor. I'd also love to know where you got the PE for the signal lamps?

It's actually a few different sizes of brass tubing from albion alloys, not photoetch
