No worries. They're passenger car lights are pretty good too.

 

[wombat457]

Will have to look at those lights as well then. I have a heap of MT Heavy Weights that I'd like to light at some point.

You can also get stuff Individually and make your own so you take power from the track rather than have it battery powered.

Right, seems my lights did arrive, flipping neighbour had 'em.

I need to bend it down some more which is why the light looks so bright, it's pointing towards me not down, but the glue hasn't set yet, so I'll do that in the morning as well as fix the door.

Gotta luv yu neighbors huh Chris

The light looks good mate and will be interesting to see how much of a difference bending it down ward a little makes to the intensity of the light.

That is certainly bright compared to the interior lighting which looks great . Do you think it might need to be toned down a little?

Yeah, even tho' that's supposed to be warm white, but it was a bugger to fit as I had the same problem you had with the basswood, and I've had a rubbish day so I just fitted the nearest resistor to hand.

I love working with wood but it does have its draw backs from time to time. I am sure you will get it looking perfect mate and don't let having a "rubbish day" get to you - there's always tomorrow to look forward to

17 March has not been a good day for a long time, another year older, I hate getting old.

 

[wombat457]

Well, ahh - Happy Birthday" mate? I think and yeah, getting older is a real pain in the butt and knees and back and so on. I really try to ignore the numerical age thing though mate and just go by how I feel. Sometimes that is counter productive as well though

Thank's Tony, dimming that light makes a big difference.

Done a little more, round the storage are and painted the plaster with earth undercoat, now the part I really hate when doing scenics .............waiting for it to dry

I've done down the other side of the track, the tape is just so I don't go too far as that will be the fence line.

Waiting for this to dry and then another coat or two.

 

[wombat457]

All looks great Chris and that light does look much better - you did well Sir!

Nice thing about the second one, if it's a little tight at the top, I can always invert it, and it will still look good.

You could always mount it on the main wall instead of above the doorway.

I thought about that, but it just didn't look like it belonged there, sort of, it looked like an afterthought that was just stuck on anywhere, if you get my meaning

Not sure I like this ground cover, my just make a dark wash, but I've a few hours to remove yet if not.

Hmm not sure about that myself. Sorry for my ignorance but what is it supposed to represent, if anything?

Honestly, I have no idea, just a gravel ground covering,it was something I wanted to try, but it's way too light, may just use some grass covering for the Machine shop area

 

[wombat457]

but it's way too light,

That's what I was thinking as well. Gravel ground cover would work, if you have some. If not yeah - good old grass always works
