Thanks Si thought I would make the generator quite big as it will have to power a lot of stuff, can't decide whether to make the generator look new or like the dozer as though it's been around a while I think I need something to distract from the dozer as I think I have overdone the weathering on the dozer not sure which way to go yet.

Hi all I think I've finished the generator
just need to make some sort of plugging in area which I will do when I know how many things will need plugging in to it .

Hi all my new leds have turned up. it always tickles me how big the box is they come in
but this time they came with a high quality brochure here are an assortment of pics from said brochure
all very nice so when I want my 30 million pound yachts lighting upgraded I know where to go.
Anyway thats not why I posted this is my simple but not particularly elegant method for lighting the super troupers
take one led
bend thus
make a plasticard tube the size of your chosen batteries. inset 2 batteries place bent led over the plastic tube and onto batteries
insert piece of plastic between the negative pole
light goes out. remove plastic card
light comes on.
now all I have to do is figure out how to get that inside the super troupers, the batteries and led slip in nicely, its figuring out the switch.

Hi moni thing is they usually come in boxes like that but that's the first time they sent a brochure and I have to say it is a very high quality brochure thick paper glossy pages and all. Realistically I will never buy any quantity of leds from them but it must have cost them more for the brochure than I paid for the leds
oh how true that is ,but its funny all the same such abig box for so small off things, but on the other hand would not get lost in the mail,:rolleyes:

Ok guys and Gall i had got bored of this and was going to put it on the back burner but due to the plane I decided to build to get my mojo back, here I am again (I have decided I dont like planes) so here is what i am up to now
I have painted the logo on one side of the trailer, which at first I thought looked rubbish but then I thought, I don't know a new business, couldn't afford a proper paint job so maybe did it themselves, anyway what it is, is what you got.
then I thought about fishing the lighting I have 2 of these doing the third as we speak, one will be shorter just to add variety.
so thats where i am now.
