Pretty unconventional loft insulation John, but I guess it'll do!
Thanks Si, didn't look like the cat with the cream earlier, stuck my hand to the side of the box ! after managing to get CA on the side of my hand. Next thing I knew I was part of the display !Evening Mr Race,
Jims award for the dogs do-dahs total sums it up! Magnificent, I bet you must have the look of the cat that got the cream....and duly so!
Looks fab
Thanks Pete, that damned flue has caused more problems than the whole build, see above ! Well at least the soil was freePretty unconventional loft insulation John, but I guess it'll do!
Nice flue by the way.

Thanks , I had no idea what power to use , so relied upon her experience. Hopefully it will be ok. If it isn't I could always have another separate supply for them John. Could I increase everything to 6 volt ?John
Your sales lady probably knows more than me but I would put the flashing lights on a separate circuit and power the rest with more like 6v. Anyway it's looking real good.
John
Thanks Chris. See my answer below, saves repeating it.YEA do that John increase the supply to 6v so longer run time but make sure the led's can handle this power or you might need some resistors fitted inline but this dio is WONDERFULL for detail John very nice work indeed well worth the dog's doo dahs lol
chris
Al the diodes have resistors fitted John suppose I could email the supplier and ask ?John
There is a simple formula to calculate the resistor required for an led.
Resistor = (Battery Voltage – LED voltage) / desired LED current.
In reality this calculation is not very critical. I would start with a 220 ohm resistor for most led projects, but if you go higher (that is even more protection) the impact will be very small. In general always go a little higher than needed with the resistor. I would go for the separate circuits since sometimes flashing circuits can interfere with regular bulbs. The bottom line is don't be intimidated by the technology, leds are not overly sensitive and in any case you can't really do any harm with 6volts of power. Just go for it.

Thanks Mick .Just had a catch up JR and its superb. You really have packed some detail in there.
John, I've sent for a 6 v battery box. Should be here sometime next week .John
Only you know if you have the lighting that you want. As I say at very low voltage you can afford to experiment. In other words just give it a try with one led, if it is not worth it then just go on as you are since you are certainly getting a great result.
John
Cheers GraemeJust had a catch up John, the all the elements go together really well, very impressed.
Thank you my friend, I do not intend however to show any photos of my hair in a state of shock or otherwise . I look like it most of the time, having not had my hair cut professionally for over a year! .Good EveningDr. TeslaDude 2,
I have, as you know, been following this from the shadows and am totally impressed with your progress and fine craftsmanship.......
You are now reaching a critical stage and I would just say, be careful Dzohn!!! If not, please be sure to take a picture of all your hair standing up if you happen to cross the wrong wires. That would be most beneficial to our morale and offer us a good chuckle too!!!
Seriously, this is your most fantastic project so far and you have nailed every aspect of it. A tip of my hat to you Sir!!!! Go Gadget, Go!!!!!!
Prost

Oh yes it is!You know how you loose parts and blame the carpet, or
other floor covering monsters.
Well I lost the stove doors, could have sworn I'd painted them and put them into a container with all the other parts for the table and stove.
The stove was there alright, and most of the table parts.
I had a clear up, thinking these missing parts would suddenly reappear. No such luck, Management checked the floor , once she has checked you can rest assured !
This morning while looking at the stove pipes and the cowel in particular I suddenly found the missing doors.
Yes still on the sprue !

No laughing matter either.
Whoa there , easy tiger . A clear up ?! Come on john dont let standards slipI had a clear up, thinking these missing parts would suddenly reappear.
Oh yes it is!

Hi Fernando , keeping well I hope. Thanks for looking in.Just caught up a bit John and a lovely box it is
Great interior and figs, neat to have the warmer light colour too
Sorry Tony , don't know what came over me. Looking around the cave tonight it's in a right mess, stuff every where. Of course I blame the storage of none modelling items.Whoa there , easy tiger . A clear up ?! Come on john dont let standards slip
