Title: LED lights powered by an AA battery pack - HELP NEEDED
Post by: 6milPhil on 17 December 2020, 02:05:01 PM

I picked up an Action Fleet Jawa Sandcrawler which is close enough, about 10mil too tall, to scale for 6mm.

It's ripe for hacking open and putting lights in, but I cant find a kit for a battery pack, a switch, and a few LED lights.

Any suggestions? Pref. UK suppliers.  ;)
