puck Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So I just picked up a venerable dreadnought kit and want to put some lights and possibly a motor (for the assault cannon). Has anybody done LEDs in the plasma cannon and/or the las cannon arm bits? I'm pretty sure I can pull it off but guidance is always helpful.

Frater Uriah Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Sadly, I am unable to help you; however, when you're finished, I really want to see how it turned out.

Bob Hunk Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I think I can help here. :) LEDs in infantry and dreadnoughts from page 20 onwards. A brief how-to on the dreadnoughts can be found on page 24. http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202224 At some point I'll put together a more detailed guide with step-by-step pics but I hope this is useful in the meantime. :) http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u72/Bob_Hunk/Miniatures%20-%20Imperial%20Fists/Fisto118.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u72/Bob_Hunk/Miniatures%20-%20Imperial%20Fists/Fisto145.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u72/Bob_Hunk/Miniatures%20-%20Imperial%20Fists/Fisto112-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223373-ven-dread-with-leds/#findComment-2671185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

averykess Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 This looks like a good place to start looking at what you might need. http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/mi.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223373-ven-dread-with-leds/#findComment-2671499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 This looks like a good place to start looking at what you might need. http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/mi.html Very nice find. I'll still look around some but I'm 90% sure this is where I'll be getting the parts from. Also I promise to take lots of WIP pics and put a tutorial together. @bobhunk: I really like the chest lights on your dreads. With proper credit given, consider this idea thoroughly stolen.

Bob Hunk Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 @bobhunk: I really like the chest lights on your dreads. With proper credit given, consider this idea thoroughly stolen. Thanks. :( Yes please feel free to pinch the idea. ;) Just to let you know though, I ended up taking the chest lights out of the Dreadnoughts because they over-powered the LEDs in the eyes. If you're not bothering doing the eyes though it shouldn't be a problem. I forgot to mention, I really recommend this website: http://www.rapidonline.com/ Delivery is very fast and prices are reasonable, so if you know what you're doing with a soldering iron then there are a wide selection of components available. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223373-ven-dread-with-leds/#findComment-2673764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technoscream Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 motorizing the assault cannon isnt too hard, I used one that normally makes a phone of pager vibrate in my one: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223373-ven-dread-with-leds/#findComment-2686613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
