Once everything is made inaccessible with the decks installed, it would really be irritating to have done all that work and be unable to remedy the problems! Hello Dave, Well, I have never had problems with LED in models, but I always test lighting for a longer time than definitely close the decks. I want to be sure that it will work reliably. I also use LED lighting in real cars and there were sometimes problems (current shocks, overvoltage) , so I use more efficient resistors to prevent it. My dog-helper is already O.K., unfortunately I cannot continue with this fine work and tiny details now because of my accident. Hope I'll be all right soon.

It is a terrible winter weather in our country now and I had bad luck.

Here are some commercial products; few years ago I made these sculptures of "Pegasus" on the pedestal for Sovereign of the Seas: Now I am inspired, for example, by the period model of the Saint Michael: Today it was sunny day and I managed to take some nice pictures of the bow decoration, so youcan also enjoy them. The sculptures will be modificated by weathering to achieve more natural look.

DORIS Posted January 13, 2019 Author #658 Posted January 13, 2019 Thank you Mark, Druxey and Piet for your feedback and support, I appreciate your words a lot. I have just started making rear support, it is much more difficult than I have expected, but step by step I will manage it. Here are first pics from process, you can also see there all my tools I use for modelling sculptures from clay ( except the main ones - my hands of course....). The dolphin supports will be stylized according to period models from museums. BTW, I love dolphins and I have had an opportunity to cuddle and swim with them several times. I will never forget such amazing enjoyment. Best regards BANYAN, paulsutcliffe, KORTES and 25 others 28 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
