If I was to roughen 25mm of tube would it fully illuminate like a tube light? or would it just be a dimmer light with most being at the end? -
Thanks but I don't need to know how to model them, I am a professional 3d modeller. just how to simulate a tube of light inside

I am hoping to start a disscussion on ways of building convincing working light types for larger scale models. I want to start with Flourescent tubes at 1/35, has anyone got any suggestions or experiance with making such thing? To be more specific is their a way to have a long skinny lightsource like a tube? or would it just have to be faked with the usual diodes?. Something along these lines

The model will have some big updates soon and is well and truely on track for a launch date on the 14th July,, exactly 60 years to the day as the launch of the real ship on July 14th 1965 All running gear is installed, thrusters, props, motors, rudders etc. just a few planks to address and some glassing and sealer/primer and we are good to go

I have started a facebook page for this 2 days ago as well, as it covers the history of the ship as much as the model. Feel free to join, it's public. This is because I have been getting inundated with new info lately from facebook as its obviously easier to find for non modellers. https://www.facebook.com/groups/586060487227286

This is resolved now thanks, I only need to repair this to the instruction standard, I worked on the real ships restoration so dont need to go to deep.
-
Because as I said this is a repair not a build and its a 30 year old model built by a relative, I cant alter it.
-
If anyone in Australia has these left over I need them for a repair I have been given after a parrot flew into it on the shelf(no case). 8 of the sails have split in half.
-
I have been given this model to repair, it fell a long way off a shelf and require the rigging instruction to help. If anyone could provide this it would be awesome. EDIT I may have found them if someone could confirm this is all of it for me https://cuttysarkdrydock.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/the-cutty-sark-rigging-sheets/

Nice build, and an interestng subject with lots of lovely drawings, the spirketting board being wider forward threw me on the deck plankng drawing.

A slight delay in progress again, I have been asked to build another shell of this ship at same scale in a much simpler way so currenty framing that up while mine sits in our hallway in the house. Thank gawd for wide hallways....

I had never thought of it like that, I guess in a way it is the same thing
-
I stand corrected, wow, not the most elegant things. I forget she is a rebuild I was meaning the original boat in the B/W images.
-
I am a stickler for accuracy, but even I would be putting in conventional Goosenecks or leaving them off I think.,I think you can guarantee it would not have been built with those...... Are there any old photos that could show what was there?
-
I had a close look and I think they are custom made gooseneck vents as John said, made by someone who was unable to bend the pipe in the usual way, if you look at the close up you can see a connecting part. I blocked it out in 3d to illustrate the possible arrangment. The placement would also suggest this, but if you have a plan showing hull voids/tanks it would confirm it.
