LED Lighting

[FourFourty]

I just spent 3 hours on the internet trying to find information on how to put lights on a 1:25 scale plastic model. Does anyone here know what components are needed and how to do it? I have never done this to a model before and want to start doing it. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info out there on how to do it. There are plenty of videos on Youtube showing off this craft, but no how to. Below is a sample of what I am referring to. Thank-You.

Fourfourty,

I ran across a guy this morning that was using those electric "tea" lights found at Craft Stores. He takes them apart and, depending on where the light will go, add some length to the wire coming off the LED.

He also mentioned using blinking necklaces found in Toy sections of crafts stores.

Now that's a very cool idea. I will look into it. Thanks.
