Battle of Coral Sea Yorktown CV-5

Dear all...today l started a boring but necessary built..well here it is.
All the truss beams are made with hangar lamps...buut those lamps are very poorly made in 2 dimensions....so l decided to make all the lamps. So the red circle in the picture is the wrong lamp ...the yellow are the "correct one" that l made and 2 per beam....each lamp is 2mm in diameter
Every single lamp will accomodate a fiber optic cable to give light to the hangar....
The 2nd picture is what a ww2 hangar lamp should look like
3rd picture the lamps in hangar CV-6 Enterprise twin sister of CV-5 Yorktown

Thats certainly a task and a half you set yourself there but will certainly look great all lit up.

I placed the lamps on the forward truss beams very fiddly but they look much better. I placed also the first lamp on central roof of the hangar and l put the fiber optic and clear resin...it looks really cool..
Enjoy
