Posting where I left off. I finally got the components together that will give me a reasonable spotlight design. I was planning of purchasing but decided that I could not wait and went ahead and scratch built my own. I think they will look 'ok', when painted.

I decided to scratch built my own security camera. Here are the parts and what I used to put my own together:











The components all laid out- I made the glass out of plastic. I had to mount the see-through plastic piece separately. Then cut a second piece to provide a protective cover for the lens. Then a third inner body piece as the internal housing:

The components mounted together: I think the effort was worth it:





I used resin nuts and bolts. Glad I had bought many of these sometime ago. I knew they would have come in handy:





I made a drainage in the ground in front of the second docking platform:

I built the U-beam from an old piece of plastic I found. I painted it blue and added a piece of poster-board painted a concrete color.

















This is what I used to paint the building. It was custom mixed by my local paint store. It is a concrete color.

More progress of the second truck docking bay.Added a black wash over the entire concrete platform. Then added a second brown wash accentuate the concrete. The results looked pretty good to me. Then I added the details to the bay itself:
