Part 17 - Company Town - Hooking up lights
Created and buried a lighting bus under all the buildings.
Used mini-connectors and magnets to allow the buildings to be removable.

Overall view - with room lights on


Overall view - with room lights off - some of those are WAY too bright!



Close up of "business" side after toning down the bakery/diner outside lights



Close up of the "residence" side - need better light management inside the buildings.
There is way too much bleed through! and some of the lights are too bright!

Dump Truck
Took a break to paint up a 3D printed dump truck I was gifted.
Still on the workbench are the company town buildings that I am (oh so carefully) tearing apart and painting the interiors to add more light control (IE: painting the interior black)
