It's been a while since I posted something on this forum mainly because lack of time.

I've been working on lot's of stuff last year which I want to show you guys.

The 1/24 scale J-Sonic Color Bar is one of those creations that just happened and it's lot's of fun creating em.

Color Bars where highly popular in the 50's and 60's and they still are.

The initial idea was to make it actual work to the sound of music but it proved to be very impratical

having a cable run from the model car to a MP3 player. I decided to go for simulating the effect by using

color changing leds using and the back of a servo to create the housing.

Since the housing didn't look like the real thing I scratchbuild a housing using styrene and used a cut

paperclip for the knob.

First version:

Here's the second version I did with the knob/ dial.

I still wasn't happy with the result and grinded the leds down to the max creating a new smaller housing.

This is the final version and I really like it! I'm gonna use them for my future builds to create a cool atmosphere

inside the car.

More stuff soon.

Pretty cool. That would look good in some old '50's chop top low riders.

That is pretty cool. I've never heard of one. It looks like with what you have come up with that it could easily be converted to making a working light bar for a police/emergency vehicle. Nice job.

Thanx for your replies.

The leds I use are not suitable for police car lights although leds for that use can be found and hooked up with no need for extra electronics.
