I added my own lighting to the LesDiy Clone Turbo Tank set

 

Hey brick fans!

Further to my latest review of the LesDiy Star Wars clone turbo tank, I decided to go a step further by adding some quickie lighting.  It's nothing substantial, just a couple of Led light strips attached to a battery box, which I had laying around.  I figured that since I added some transparent/translucent bricks to the windshield, it would look pretty cool to have some lighting.


Unfortunately, of the spare light strips I have, one is warm white and the other is cool white.  So they give off a different vibe depending on which end you view.  I'm preferring the warm white light at the moment.

The battery boxes use the CR2032 button batteries. I've placed them inside the storage bay with each providing lighting for one of the cockpits.

The cool white glows so brightly that it actually illuminates the storage bay as well.


Attaching the light strip is just simply attaching it to the underside of the roof panel.  



If I'm feeling ambitious in the future, I might get some LED dot lights for the exterior lighting and maybe even some accent lighting along the platform base.  But for now this will do.

Anyways, that's a wrap for this quickie post.  Bye for now!
