MrWolf Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 That is looking really good Chris, I particularly like the changes of colour on the roof. The glass skylight has really worked well for showing off the interior detail. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted April 21, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2021 I’ve been thinking about interior lighting and have some of these teeny tiny LEDs They are small but mighty I was surprised how bright they are running off a 3v battery 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if I should just glue them directly under the beams and run the wires down the corners and paint over the wires? Or I’ve got some 0.8 dia brass tubing I could run down the wall (gas pipes?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Back in the days of the grain of wheat bulbs they used to glue on a small washer as a "shade", paint the top and in the absence of a low wattage, put a coat of green paint on the glass.

I’ve got a pack of Ratio concrete lamps, I had thought about hollowing out the lamp head and using those as a kind of industrial lamp shades I thought that might be going a bit too far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
