I found and old incandescent spotlight in a job lot years ago, and thought no more about it until recently while while building my diorama, I thought a spotlight car would be a good idea, so decided to kitbash one.

Sorry I forgot to take any "in progress" photo's simply because I've never tried anything like this and wasn't sure it would.

The box is supposedly a generator for the spotlight

Decided that if I wanted a Spotlight Car, better make sure it will work.

Added NEM pockets, and the blue Tak, is simply to keep the plug out of the way

A tad nit-picky:
It's not a 'scratch-build' which implies an object having been built entirely from nothing, using raw materials cut, shaped, fitted, and fastened.
It's more of a 'kit-bash' where main object is already standing but has been modified to some extent or other...
But, congrats on your first project just the same...

I've changed the title to correct that.
