Thanks Ray


I’ll end up having 16 LEDs for the heli deck landing lights plus another 12 for the landing aids lights.




A friend of mine is working on the mission bay crane control electronics as how I had its function working failed, <:( so he said he’d look at it.

Picked up these today from a friend that has just got a resin printer. The larger heli deck lights will go down the side of the flight deck, the smaller ones on the transom.

Housing after two coats of Matt black Thai is to stop light leak and one top coat once fully dried I’ll give them a light sand and final top coat.


Then the housing will have green lenses added, this will be done by painting green acrylic clear on some acetate.

Easily done. I built a huge tug and miscounted the railings – couldn't tell the difference between 2 and 3. Doh!
