Flagg By Night

If you own or have scrutinized pictures of the U.S.S Flagg, you may realise that it  doesn't have much of a hull. Using my limited carpentry skills I shaped a wooden board to match the hull, raised the hull on wooden 'walls', painted it and put the whole thing on trolley wheels. I cut some doorways into the walls and painted it all grey. Last move was to put some LEDs into the new chambers and the island to give light in otherwise impossibly dark sections. I give you some pics on the result. Big thanks to my buddy Al for his help with wiring it up. I am pretty rubbish and he got it done in one attempt where I would have probably taken five and a few grey hairs.

The Island. The chambers with computers are well lit. The arb chambers, not so much

The bridge with Cutter and Keel Haul. So far only one of the LED lights have died. And  I'm open to suggestions on how  to mask that wire...
