: For those interested, I just completed the lighting phase of my 1:350 Titanic project, and include external lights. I used products from
: Cir-Kit Concepts Inc
: 32 Woodlake Drive S.E.
: Rochester, MN
: 55904
: 507-288-0860
: I installed Micro bulbs in the walls of the officers quarters and other stuctures, and to provide light to the B and C deck areas that required it. This company markets 2-conducter tape wire and the necessary transformer and connecters ect. I wired it just like a doll house using 1/4" x 1" wood strips super glued to the under side of the decking. Added to the "rope light" inside the hull to illuminate the windows and port holes, this system gives a very realistic look to the ship. It provides a "warm lihgt as they had in 1912 vs the white light produce by flourescent or fiber optic.
: total cost was nearly $150 and consumed about 12 hours to install, but fire her up in the dark, and it is definately worth it!
