Thank you. I need to find a source for the male and female plug for the base and the battery box with a switch. Thanks for your info. EJ

Well I wanted the paddle wheels to turn although I will never put it into the water.I used an AMT Slot Stars mechanism and made the wheels from turned.80 styrene with mahogany planks as paddles.When I make the display base ,I Will cut a rout for the wires and connectors.

Great idea. Can you explain more about how you wired it and the parts you used? When I did my 1/700 ESSEX I lighted it, but had a 4 AA battery box in the bottom of the base. What a pain to change the batteries. EJ
