Thank you! yeah that's a 1/3000 [roughly] next to a 1/60, Eventually i'll get more detolfs, to separate Star wars & Gundam. I built the 1/60 Gundam wing custom about 19 years ago, and it has earned a spot in the "dust free" zone Edited May 23, 2019 by vlenhoff Scales in this detolf are: 1/3000, 1/100, 1/60, 1/48 and 1/12.

You can see a strip in the top of billy case that isn’t on. Those are old IKEA sets that are ok but expensive, not bright and don’t have good color temps. I still like them and will use them as ambient back up lighting because they do have color control. The lights that you see on in both cases are led strip lights similar to what @dafob mentioned a couple pages back. I went with model 3528 strips which are brighter than normal but not quite as bright or more importantly, not as thick as 5050 strips. Also important to me is they are a more daylight color temperature instead of the typical warm temp leds from ikea. They have self adhesive tape on the back and super easy to install. Detolf took less than 10 mins. Billy shelf took a bit over 10 mins because I cut the strip to separate for each side and had to connect it all back with additional wiring. The light sets including power and wireless remote were about $10 each (there was a sale but not much more regularly. Ridiculously good deal and I’m about to return the extra IKEA less I bought before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
