How to make Model Lighting?

Question

i made a model and i was wondering how hard it is and how to make a lighting system for it?

Answer 1

Again, it depends on what you plan to "LIGHT" !! It's not difficult to do with patience and planning.

From the model railroading community, there are a great number of products for putting "grain of wheat" lamps or LED (light emitting diodes) into buildings and railcars.  These are typically 12 volt systems.

Back in the mid-1990's I built a 1/48 scale S-3B Viking using that technique.  In the early 90's I built a 1/35 scale F-14D that had the exterior lights in LED and the entire cockpit lit with fiber-optics.

Fiber optics are used for tiny pin-point lights... as often seen on sci-fiction space-ships... like on many Star Trek Models.

Answer 2
