Silent Invader's Build: Urban Stream/Sewer (5/1 - with miniature)

[Thunderchicken]

This is a great build. Will need some advice on a multi-layer board soon so I now know where to come.

I'll echo the comment about adding a thin wire to complete the trolley, but other than that it's perfect

[Blackwolf]

That looks brilliant! Always love your scenery

Coming along nicely

Looking really good Steve. You're beginning to become the master of illuminations.

Just a quick point- why don't you either solder or crip the leds to the wire?

Cheers

Cheers guys!


It's all soldered Andy, I'm just paranoid so I insulated the joins with tape as it's all pretty combustible stuff!   

True! the last thing that you want is for it to go up in flames!

Out of interest; why did you go for yellow LEDS?

[OSHIROmodels]

The leds have a variable flicker and so I convinced myself that the effect is that of a guttering candle!  That said, when my elder daughter came out to the workshop she thought the effect was more like the emergency lights in a horror movie and wondered about a buzzing sound (PS .... there is also a sound generator in the works.... howling winds, running water, etc and now fizzing lights!)

Multimediamodels 

Love it 

Where did you get your flicker lights from (after something similar myself)?

cheers

Was going to suggest you get one of those aquarium water pumps moving the water but you got that covered already?

Real poo? Is that going too far?

That depends on how bad the local gaming crowd is...
