Excellent, Scruffy, most excellent.

Very nice diorama Scruffy, I really like it. The blue car has its braking lights on to see what is going on

Now the image comes creeping in from the dark showing stillness, apart from the activity of the brake lights glowing like demons on the prowl. I wonder what the driver is saying:  Nobody is home again when I need a mechanic.

Maybe he was up to no good Gunner

The lights again.....are they 120v, 12v or 1.5v. How many watts or do you know. I have mini bulbs for 1.5 volt AA batteries but I don't know the wattage on them, does not say on the bulb or the package.

12v bulbs, LES 50 mA screw fitting bulb with clear lamp (5.2 x 15 mm)

I recently bought them on ebay as my old ones were duff/blown out

I run mine on a model railway transformer on full 12v but like the idea I can dim them down.

Have you had a look at www.sceneryexpress.com and their animated neon signs ?

 

 

The other thing to look at (although hard to find) is Mr.Fury's General Store who do a range of 1/43 roadside billboards

I can't believe I haven't applauded this excellent diorama setting yet... just goes to show how busy I've been elsewhere. The set itself is really versatile, as you have already demonstrated, and the lighting adds that extra touch and it all becomes magic. Wonderful!

Small 'lit' dioramas can be powered also by old mobile phone chargers,generally these are a few volts so they dont make bulbs too bright.

This church was lit with a Nokia charger and a white led.





Good work on the garage!
Cheers,Frame.

Hmmmm, maybe one day, yes, one day.....

All I can say there are really good and I mean fantastically good, and thanks for the tips on power source and bulbs.

 Did your church come with the coloured windows Frame? I've got a church built but didn't have any glass so looking at making stained glass windows.
