Re:Something really different Update July 21, 2010
I am getting ready to "Wire" the mansion. It will have around 20 standard grain of wheats, plus many exterior lights and spotlights.
Gail came up with the name for it. "Simpatico" it will be. That word fits everything like a glove! She's so smart!
Here are what the exterior coachlights will look like. They are microscopic. I will be using a 12 volt DC transformer attached to the base. I will be wiring the lights both in series and in parallel, to get the proper scale lighting.
The two tiny wires from the bulb has to be inserted into the tiny holes in the white protrusion I am holding.
If you look really close, you can see the bulb in the center of my palm. The wires are there, the camera couldn't pick them up.
This is the wall bracket, the wiring and, if you look close, the bulb. The lamp is threaded and actually screws on the bracket.
This shot is using a nine volt transformer and.....
Same lamp using 12 volt transformer

Gee, I feel like an electrician! :whhh :whhh

This is just SO COOL. I can't believe you're doing this for me. I don't deserve it, but I will strive to, Poppy.

Re:Something really different Update July 21, 2010
Bob you continue too impress me more and more everyday....... not only do you build stunning models but you have enough electrical knowledge too understand the difference between series and parallel. That is something that is lost on most.
The thing that makes a man great is not what he acomplishes with his hands ........ but how people feel about him , you have done that and it is irelevant how those of us in the modeling world feel ..... the ones who count are those closest too you.
Once again my hat is off too you .
For the rest of us just keep sharing you wisdom and great builds , you are already a legend in the modeling world.

Re:Something really different Update July 21, 2010
My daughter Gail tells me all the time that I'm not old at all, that I am at my peak! She tells me little fibs like that all the time and I act like I believe them!
I remember what the peak felt like back when I was in my twenties. I'm almost 70 now and I can tell you that this is nobody's idea of a peak!
Oh well, I'm still modeling!
