Hello Moppo and thanks.
Aye a County Durham AFOL!!
Hello buddy,
I loved this set but it was just begging to be brought to life a little,
That's how I lost 4 months of mine trying to resurrect the old gal!
Hey there buddy!
Thanks for that!
As for drilling the 6x2's I placed the sticker set on 1 6x2 and placed it side by side with another then spent up to 30 mins copying the light shapes onto the other 6x2 then carefully drilling with a dremel handheld drill.
Very tedious but it was worth it in the end!
Hey Lucaslaughing
After the tedious drilling the forms on the face of the 6x2's I carefully drilled the inside to make way for the LED's and wiring, 2 LED's were "daisy chained" together and if I needed another 6x2 lit up on top I just drilled a 1.5mm hole in the 2 top studs to feed more cable through!
Is this 10188 set the 1st to be lit up like this? Unfortunately I cannot upload any pictures because the files are too large! Frustrating!!
I have uploaded a video onto Youtube, username Been Brickinlike
Please give feedback as this is my 1st attempt at a MOC.
Thank you.
