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

Surface mount leds are very small, and you can order them from lots of places. So, don't let that stop you.

Shush, Jim'll hear! 

Still wouldn't know how to construct a circuit with batteries, switches, restistors and all that malarkey.

This will help:  https://learn.adafruit.com/all-about-leds/overview

Now you have no excuse to not put LEDs on it.  Jim will be so happy!

Here's the article that taught me:

And here's a link that will tell you what resistor to use (covers one led but there's a link to a page for multiple leds):

Too late

So the next small instalment;



It may not look much currently but there is a whole lotta thinking going on, plus some engine bits!

That's a very useful article Steve

I love the way it appears to be hovering above the work surface

 

From the orientation of the front gubbins, it looks more like a CR 90 variant rather than a hammerhead....or something else entirely?

[Damas]

There is a madness to my method!  All will, slowly, become clear.

[Damas]

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)...

[Elk101]

Oooh, very cool!  It's worth it you know!

[gamer Mac]

WOW That looks great

[McMordain]

Nice! 
Sometime, in the far future, I will try to light up some of my constructions as well.

[Billchuck]

Very nice indeed.

[Vanvlak]

That IS nice - I'm still not into lighting up models, but this really is inspiring.
