That framing looks fantastic. I say go with it. Put the whole beast in. Just think what you could do with the lighting...like a diorama framed shadowbox.

Mean bro looking forward to this.

 

[Guest]

that box is on its way 1st class steven.

the idea for the whole shed in the dio sounds good and looks good so far for size etc.

for lighting you could use some leds in the ceiling, light units are cheap enough from pound shops, you just need to take them apart and rewire 'em

 

[Guest]

a friend at my local model shop said try this site Home as they are cheap and cover lots of electrical stuff for models

[Guest]

go to most discount store or pound shops and they're will be a pack of LED parasol garden lights.

There's normally approx 20 lights and a battery pack for 3x AAA.

Normally cost a quid or so, well they do up here anyway

When xmas time comes they'll have the same sort of thing in stock as xmas tree lights

 

[Guest]

hey steve try components shop.co.uk they do allsorts of lighting
