What did you use for the small blocks (lights) on the island numbers (plastic strip?)


Simon,

Yes..just used very small Evergreeen plastic strips that were cut up into very small pieces.
P.S., your part "F19" is on it's way to you. It may take awhile, but it will get there. I used Priority Mail. The difference in cost was either $35 to ship it, or $2.00. I picked the latter... :smallsmile:

Hi Red :wave_1: . Well, my Nimitz build is being delayed for awhile as I have not really had the time. Hopefully I'll begin working on it very soon though! I did get some of the flight deck markings painted on and I posted some pics of that process a month or two ago.
