DaveCo Posted December 30, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2015 Hi, I got a project where the model will have several tall lights illuminating the deck (the deck of a freighter), they're way to small to run any kind of electrical setup through, so I was playing around with the idea of painting them with a glow in the dark pigment to simulate the light bulb figuring it could look neat when the room is dark, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and could recommend something. I was thinking of trying some superluminova (the stuff they use on watch hands), but it's hard to find a color that's warm enough. Any thoughts?

Justin P. Posted December 30, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 30, 2015 Does it come in different colors? I would think the color (watch hands) wouldnt be quite right... mtaylor and avsjerome2003 2 Quote Current: US Brig SYREN - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64 Completed: HMS TRITON - Cross Section - Scale 1:48 / Gallery Secret Vessel MOREL - Master Korabel - Scale 1:36 / Gallery 18th Century Armed Longboat - Model Shipways - Scale 1:24 / Gallery HMS BOUNTY Launch - Model Shipways - Scale 1:16 / Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCo Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted December 30, 2015 Yeah, I found some orange paint on ebay that (to me at least) looks like about the right color for a sodium lamp Justin P., avsjerome2003 and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCo Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted December 30, 2015 haha, thankfully we're talking about 20 or so laterns on a freighter deck, not 10000 lights on a cruise ship avsjerome2003 and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
