    Adding LEDs to your scale model can make a huge difference to the realism and give it a really professional look.
    Have you tried lighting models before?

    Interesting. I'm doing some poking around for adding lights to my model airplanes. Nicely done model and demonstration of technique.

      I hope it was helpful. I definitely want to get a smaller battery pack when I do this again.

    Looks great! You used the same type of LEDs for front and rear lights? The front lights are very bright.

    • @BOABModels
      @BOABModels  2 года назад +1

      Thanks and yes I did. The opening for the rear lights is smaller and I tinted the lens red to make them more like tail lights.

      Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, of course. My workbench is my kitchen table though 😂 so I will set it out like I'm modelling.

      I have found it helps me to listen back and consider how others might hear me - I've taught children with hearing aids and that affected my delivery a lot.

    I'm working on a Zündapp KS750 1:9, mostly 1:9 motorcycle modela (1:12 also possible) and now I'm implementing lightas in that model, faced with a problem "how to make it look realistic", I mean, wiring, but I know I'll manage to make it. Even though I already made a BMW R75 1:9 with electric system simulation (made only wiring, no LEDs and batteries) and it looks pretty realistic like on my 1:1 motorcycles

    • @BOABModels
      @BOABModels  Год назад

      I have only made one bike (in 1/12) and there wasn't much space to put lights so it would be interesting to see how it's done.

      No space - I hid it out of the way when taking the photos. When I added lights again to a kit, I used a micro USB. Or you could use button batteries.

    What is voltage of battery?

    • @BOABModels
      @BOABModels  18 дней назад

      It's 2 standard AA batteries so between 1.2 and 1.5 volts I believe. Nothing exceptional.

      ​@@BOABModels I think total voltage of 4 led is 10 v, then how they all are glowing with 2 AA battries?
