Hey Del... are you sure that's the same scale as the ship???
Looks a bit small to do too much damage...

Reluctantly removed a lot of decking this morning, I've left the stairs in as there is no reference to a replacement that I can see, I can and will remove them later if required though.
LED strip's placed into hull (once I managed to unstick them from my fingers/eyebrows etc...the STICKIEST adhesive I've ever come across....think flypaper)
Hull pre-painted so that Vallejo red hull paint was a tad pointless!!!

Hull placed onto the stand, don't know if this is taboo as such having not built a ship before but the destructions said stick it on the stand!

Ok, so it would appear the LEDS are not working, strangely the part described 'power' is a metal pin the you thread part of the wiring through.
There's no obvious on/off switch, it's all wired correctly but my gut feeling is that power button not doing whatever it's supposed to do.
Any ideas?

Cheers Chris, they say DC 5V?

Seems like an odd thing to suggest, but is the 'power' button similar to a touch lamp? I would try touching it to see what happens.
Otherwise check all connections, solder joints and connector orientations is all I can suggest!

Hmm....have you tried wiring the yellow switch board the other way round?

Well, this is frustrating...my son's looked at the led and cannot see any other reason for them not working other than they're faulty.
Connected up correctly, brand new batteries and all wiring intact and firm.
This is a problem, I can't move on until the lights are remedied, I can't see Academy helping out so I may have to bite the bullet and get some led strips off Amazon or similar....suggestions welcome!
(The LEDs are four strips so nothing complicated)

NOW Del thats what i was goin to say but on one led strip just can you just put the red poitive wire to the pos on batts an black wire to the negitve just to see if you can one strip workin an do they need or have a resistor fitted ?
