Good evening everyone. I’ve been working on the starboard lower deck hallway with a couple of doors and other details. These pictures make everything look so big when actually we are talking about 35mm wide hallway so all these details are very small. The LEDs I’m using are just 3mm! Also for scale, the deck planks are 3mm wide.

Hello all, I spent today finishing up the fire house holders on the lower deck, and installing some railings. Here are a few updated pictures of the progress, some with lights on.

Neat solution to the light bleed. Wow you are using heavy wire, I hope you can fit it in everywhere.
I can't find any pictures under the transparent bit of that building either.
It seems a message I added got lost in the ether but your lighting project looks amazing, far too clever for a guy like me. My lighting if it works after all the fairing/planking/ sanding will be an all or nothing job!

Oh this is all much too clever for me!!! My lighting, if it still works after fairing/planking/sanding will be an all or nothing affair. I would love to see how you have wired everything and managed to hide it.

Good evening Mike, the images you posted are of the main bridge, which is housed in the building on the aft deck. 1st and 2nd images below.
The area/room I have found little about is the top of the third image. The “slanted” window area, which lies above the chart room on the fore deck. It also appears to have a glass roof, similar to what OcCre has in its AV plans. But what does the inside of this space look like? An alternate wheel house? A lookout bridge? A captains lounge? What is this space used for? I have searched high and low for images of this area, but found none. When the ship is open for visitors, this area is off limits so few if any armature pictures exist of this area. It’s also not included on the virtual tour that I like so well. Maybe someone who has served on the AV can shed some light?

I don't know if this is what you mean. I found it on google images of the ship.
Whilst I'm here, I have installed all my hull lighting but I am wondering how you have wired all the individual leds you have put on so far. If you are doing hull lighting how will you stop the light bleed from below? Sorry, so many questions for you.

Can you tell me where you found pictures of the real boiler/fire control room. I have had a good hunt but can't find any.

Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply. I think my lighting will be simpler although so far I have had to modify all the bulkheads to accommodate wiring and leds for the hull. I am not sure how I am going to deal with the deck lights yet.

What voltage led's and colours are you using?

I am doing the Occre kit as well, with I hope, full lighting!! So I shall keep watching yours so that you can make all the mistakes first!!
