I think if I had all the tools and equipment you have the girlfriend woulod never see me, unless she came out to the shop lol.I know I had a lot of questions for you but forgot most of them.

What type of lights do you use and do you get some that have the ability to flicker or do you make the circuit that way?
@ScaleModelCraft
@ScaleModelCraft 6 күн бұрын
Hi Major Hawker!!! I have done both, so I will discuss both this Friday during the livestream. I used flicker lights in the long hallway in my Wolfenstein Diorama shown in the video. I also have some fantastic Arduino code written by my cousin Joe to flicker a light through an Arduino. its adjustable, so I really prefer that if I am doing a campfire, or a barrel fire where I really want to see a bright flicker that casts shadows. Awesome question and something I love talking about and trying to figure out how to best use in a diorama. Thanks and I hope you can catch the livestream Friday at noon, or the replay Saturday at 10 am both Pacific time. Take Care, Bill

A beautiful job you did to that model, Bill I used to live in Ireland in the 1970s. In 1974, when I was 10, my mother bought all 12 Aurora 'Glows in The Dark' models for my Christmas. These models were very hard to find in Ireland and this great little toy shop had them all. My mother was great. She knew I liked these models and she saved up her money the whole year for them. She only worked part time and didn't have much. The people in the shop were very nice, too. They kept all the models aside, without a down payment. Sadly, my mother died in October 2024, in a hospital, in my arms. She was 88.

The airbox holding the fan's is on the top of the booth, and there is a plenum on the back of the unit the same size as the filter, that gathers the air through the filter and directs it up the back of the booth to the airbox where the fans are, and they evacuate the air to the outside. I hope that helps, but if you want Im happy to explain further. Take care, Bill

Hi Stuart, I watched the movie "Beneath Hill 60" and that was a really great inspiration, and lots of things I didn't know about before watching it. This goes down to 35 feet, which is about as far as they went in real life for bunkers and rooms, but tunnels went further down as they dug toward the German lines due to the rise in terrain in some places. Lots of great websites Alsop about Sappers and ANZAC's involvement in WW1. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care, Bill
