woo hoo....i gots lights! http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010023.jpg it took a bit of time,patience and creative thinking but it's custom and only cost me about $12 to put together. imma sucker for details and realism so a 5mm housing poking out the front just wouldn't do.....so....i made some headlight buckets by heating plastic and pressing it into a 15mm socket with an 8ball marble. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010004-1.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010005-2.jpg 6 5mm 1000mcd LEDs on top and two 10,000mcd on the fenders make up the brakelights. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010013.jpg this pic shows my first choice for brake lights but the LEDs were dimmer then the others so i swapped em for the 10k's http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010015.jpg wiring shots....(sorry for the mess but if my work space isn't clutterred then i'm lost..) :roll: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010017.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010019.jpg fully wired and ready to go. i opted for three 3v batts for longevity,brightness and the fact that if i split the load i didn't have to bother with series configs and resistors. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010020.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010021.jpg here's the money shot(s)! http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010023.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010022.jpg one thing i liked about making the headlight buckets was finding out how well they dispursed the light like a 1:1 bucket. i was kinda worried that all you would see was the diode.... now i get to pull it all back apart and start paint!! :D i'm open to suggestions on the paint scheme if anyone has .02 they could spare. my only requirement is that it includes black/silver and green. cheers, |

since all my Xmods are gone........ http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010005-4.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010012-1.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...40100062-1.jpg here's some of the other stuff i've been working on since my last post. this rustler came in a lot of other parts and was about 60% complete when i got it. i started throwing spare parts on it,got it running and threw it on the shelf. me and my freind scot got to looking at it and decided to start throwing some cash at it to give it to his brother as an Xmas present. Xmas has passed and mike still hasn't gotten it....atleast he knows he's got one though right? i'm still having engine troubles due to using old worn down mills but the rest is strong and purdy. i painted it up to mimic the 1:1 camaro he had just sold. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...s/DSCN1200.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3.../S40100012.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010004-2.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010006-3.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...S4010003-1.jpg this body also came in the parts lot with the rusty but is 1/5 scale so it's too big to fit any of my rides. soooo, i decided to paint it up for ****'s and giggles. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010004.jpg i present to you.......Frightnin' McQueen! http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010007.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010011.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...e/S4010012.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3.../S40100042.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3.../S40100062.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3.../S40100072.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3.../S40100063.jpg and that's how it stands as of now. i still have the rear bumper and the door numbers to paint. more to come soon. cheers, |
