LotusArenco Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 You mad bugger! I’ve always had a soft spot for this type of transportation having been a fan of the old ‘Space 1889’ game and ‘Victorian Sci-Fi’ in general.

Well I had no intention of lighting this build but the effect on the engine bell is to good not too (well I think so). Now I'm going to have to fit some cabin lights now.......

I have know idea where it all, but if it was all organised where would all the spontaneity come from.

Will Vale Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Nice engines. Have you got room to add some guitar string dangling hoses? There's something about the negative curves of dangling stuff that makes things look more real. Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Cheers Will and I will be adding dangling pipes, you might even see the mountings just behind the pipe, center front of the engine. And a progress so far pic to make sure I'm happy with how it's looking so far. Got to go back and tackle the cabin lights next and you just know there is going to be light leeking out all over the place.......

I have a library of art books. One book is titled: Children and Their Art, Third Edition, by Gaitskell and Hurwitz (1975). A lot of the artworks in there is amazing. Simple but very effective. Children are less prone to try and prove themselves (control), so they are more likely to do what pleases them alone (in the flow). Personally, I try to be child-like (not childish) with my model making...it's a lot more fun and creative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Cheers all now back to the usual cock ups, I'm working on the cabin lights as an after thought,never a good idea. I only have blue LED's so blue it is. The upper deck leeks light like a culender lower deck is OK, front viewing space is a mess. Totally drilled the hole in the wrong place and the LED is way to bright. I made a defuser for it but it still a bit brighter than I would like. These are 9v per wired LED with a resisters already in place, anyone know if I can I add another resister? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good! No problem, add a series resistor and it will dim the light from the led 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can add another resistor. I would add anything between 100-500 ohms. Or even add a 500 ohm trimpot, and vary the brightness to your desire. The build is looking great. The blue light in the front cockpit (mouth) is a fantastic idea. Edited June 18, 2018 by Getunderit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
