HI GUYS well im back on tigers build
but im now doin small stuff an thats them two bridges an i dont know how much will be seen when the light green glass is fitted in the windows
but a freind has made me up some bridge consoles to fit in side of the bidges as i hate havin an empty bridge an im gonna try an make them fit inside the bridges with 2mm leds some just on an some flashing
but first the console an its a solid resin but i have used my mini dremel an a borein out tool fitted to make them hollow
first though the console belowComment
-
an here im now fittin in the 2mm leds an this is very fiddley work as ive had to cut off the resitor so the hair thin wires will go through the tiny holes an then try an resolder the wires back onto the resitor an you can see how small they are against my finger tipComment
-
an three leds fitted in with their resitors fitted on an the resitores will all be tucked away out of sight in the hollow consoleComment

an two out of three done so far an these are just roughly painted as i said i dont think they will be seen much but if they are then i'll do a better job on themComment
-
AN HERE ive fitted in the white 2mm leds bridge lights an three in each bridge an these will be swiched on an off by R/CComment
-
HERE the bottom admrils bridge is all masked up ready for primer spray an top coat grey paintComment
-
an all now sprayed up an now for the really hard part of fitting in the green glazeing an i'll proberly be a nervous wreck by the time ive fitted it as ive got to be very carefull i dont get any glule smears on the glass an then fit window wipersComment
-
AN ive got too fill up that slight crack up just under the windows so back to marskin it up as this crack did no show before i painted it but it does now so more rework on this an then the other bridge to do
