How do I make realistic light fittings for a scratch build Husky.

Hi;

    What I have done depends on the type and shape .On most vessels I build they have the clear shock-resistant clear globe with a metal cage around then .

 On vehicles I usually find this to work . For inside lights take a piece of plastic the shape and size you need .Cover it with bare metal foil then clean the edge off for the next step .Get some .010 strip and build the edge and epoxie it in place .Super Glue will not cut the mustard here !

  Now in the internal space cut and fit a clear piece of plastic that you've sanded lightly with 600 grit on one side  Cut to fit in the resulting depression . Now sand the clear smooth with the edges you've already built .

    Smooth the exterior nicely and paint the edge the color it's supposed to be .Polish the lens gently and there you have it , one interior light for your Husky .      T.B.

Ha ha ha, that seems great, had a good laugh. Thanks.

Ok, Don, I am going to try your second method with clear plastic. It should work. Thanks for the info. Will let you know if it worked, thank again.

For the type lights in the 2nd image, I  would use clear plastic rod the closest size.  Cut to appropriate length, then mask the lens area and paint the rest.  The support structure can be made from brass stock formed into a semi-circle.

Do you mean "various lights"?  The only thing that I can think of is to bend some tiny plastruct in whatever scale you're building in. You'd have to make the basic shape, then glue tiny strands in circles around each of these parts. If you're trying to replicate the freezer type light that you often see on aircraft carriers and submarines. Let me look for one, and I'll post it here. You can tell me if I'm right or wrong.

 I did a quick www.ask.com search and this was all that I could find.

Or do you mean like these?

Not sure what such lights look like, not being real familiar with the subject.  Can you post a photo of a prototype showing these lights?
