Will the poor join allow light bleed into the the deck level?

Yes. Light does leak through that area.

Finally got all the LEDs done in the hold. Took a little while but its not a race I guess. I had a few redos along the way as I wasn't satisfied with the result. Still need to paint a few exposed wires inside to finish up and in the end, no one will know the wires are there. I am now complete through video 9.

 

I think this is a much cleaner result in the end with a lot less wires to deal with. I was hesitant to do this at first, but now that's it done I'm happy that I did.

The LEDs really add life to the model.

You can see my take on the flour bags here as well.

I had to move a few barrels around (second set up from the bottom of the picture) as there are a couple parts that extend down into that area of the hold from the orlop deck. This isn't addressed until video 11. A good set of plans would have been useful in making that known much sooner.

I had similar issues with a kit I bought The Flying Dutchman. They had resistors etc. I always thought as well that the lights should be flickering since back them they would have been using lanterns. 
I was able to buy mini leds from Evans Designs Led lights. They look great but I too struggled with mounting and soldering. Just too a bunch of trials and errors.

I agree. they should definitely flicker. Its about learning a new skill as I've never had a reason to solder anything before.
