Damas' BSC 2017 Entry: Yeah, couldn't help myself P6, 12/02/17

Ohhhh!......that's juicy!

[Mason]

Very impressive, Kev.
You are certainly on to a winner with this.
Such clean lines to boot.
 

AND it counters the dark corners of the Berrylands very well.

cool

Corvette, now with engines!

It's also now on a gaming base.




I have now succumbed....




...and I hate you for making me do this (you know who you are)...

Those lighting effects look 'out of this world' - fantastic.

Please can you explain how you did the LEDs?

You have a really elegant and small solution.

I would love to see a tutorial with a circuit diagram and a shopping list.

Thanks

Mick

[Braz]

How am I supposed to compete against that.   Amazing.

Please can you explain how you did the LEDs?

Yes, please.

[Elk101]

They are right you know,  it is a tidy job!

[Rich H]

  neat work as before!

[tin shed gamer]

This is one of those builds you just keep coming back too.
It couldn't be further away in scale from my own musings,and for that alone its a pleasure.

Mark.

[Damas]

Well, thanks to you all!

I still look around in awe at what you chaps pull together, It's kind of hard to think people look up to the stuff I do.


Anyhoo, for Mick and Braz, and anyone else interested:

Here is the humble 3mm LED with a resistor.




A small bend in the legs and it is fitted into the engine cowl.




I have stripped the negative legs down and soldered the positive legs together, also I attached the fly lead.  With the soldering, I positioned the positive junction to fit into the body




I then soldered the negative leads and fly lead. The engines have been arranged and placed on the hull.




I pulled the fly leads through the hull where the stand will go.




And there you have it.  The positives with resistors and insulation, the negatives currently bare and ready to be enclosed by the hull.




Of course, before everything gets glued, you test the circuit.  Mine was fine.   

[Mason]

That is a great tutorial, mate.
 

[AKULA]

It's kind of hard to think people look up to the stuff I do.

Awesome sauce mate.

Now, please, show us how you lit up the tie fighter

 

[Braz]

Thanks Damas.   Amazing.  That would have driven me crazy.

[Silent Invader]

Nifty LED work Kev - congrats

Just watched Rogue 1 a second time so I'm really into this build.
