January 30, 2022This time I plan a rotating white light. Because the mechanical rotation is to complicated I intend to use this time too my CMOS best friend 4017. I will use 10 white SMD LED’s mounted in a circle. 10 capacitor and 10 additional resistors helps to simulate soft change between the LED’s for better simulation of a rotating beacon.4
January 30, 2022LED-array completed. About 12 mm in diameter.5
January 30, 2022LED’s CA glued to a piece of 0,8 mm thick plastic (“carrier”).6

January 31, 2022First round with H165 and slightly lighter mix (H165 and H196) for the edges and around the openings. The original is more middle gray than the picture of the kit-artwork (completed Model).8
January 31, 2022Snow white is definitely the wrong color for a lighthouse. A mix of H130 and H196 is the better choice 🙂.9
January 31, 2022Second round with red and brown accents.10
February 2, 2022Third round with light gray for the edges.11

February 5, 2022The stairs consists of 9 steps. Each step consists of 3 parts because of the needed thickness.19
