Fat Brian Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 That's really incredible. Where did you get those little round lights from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purepmd Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks, guys, for the compliments. Brian, I made those, all of those, one at a time. I have a leather punch, that, unlike a paper punch, leaves a useable, small disc. The lenses are punched from orange and red medicine and vitamin bottles. The surrounds are aluminum tubing I cut on a small tubing cutter with a homemade depth gauge, filled to a uniform height in a jig I made out of aluminum tubing. The reflective backing is the foil lining from a cigarette pack, also cut with the same size cutter on the leather punch. The foil has an incredibly small grid pattern that resembles the LED diode pattern in the real bulbs. All assembled with clear nail polish.

foosh Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hey Mark, Nice design and build, looks really sharp. I like how you made the lights, remember you can never have enough lights. This would make a nice 1:1 to drive, I'm impressed. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewaskew Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Wow, I can't imagine building all those that way.

kevjoh Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks for the tip on how you did the Vortex air cleaners, They look exactly right. Recently got the grill and air cleaner mesh from Plano Model Products.
