8a.2 Brewery Door Lights
I felt compelled to point these out because they're unusually small. I made four of them for the brewery—one for the office and the rest for the brewery itself. To make them, I drilled out Tichy N Scale lampshades with a #75 drill. After inserting the wired LED, I bent the leads to a gooseneck shape and bonded them that way with CA. I made the wall mounts from impossibly thin slices of 1/32-inch styrene rod drilled out with a #75 drill. After I bonded them to the wall of the building, I re-drilled it, inserted the leads, and bonded them in place. Then, because the shades were cast in translucent grey plastic, I had to apply two coats of black acrylic plaint plus one coat of Floquil Weathered Black to make them opaque. I also applied white acrylic to the inside of the lampshade, as well as the LED itself to diffuse the light.
