So i take it you lot sorta like it then ?.....
Well thanks for the words folks, just goes to show what can be done if you want to give it a whirl and don't go giving it any excuses about lacking
in skill.
If i can then so can you, afterall we all have the best modeling tool known to man and it sits very nicely in a cavity between your ears...regardless
about what some uncharitable folks in my locale have said about my brains location

Would you care to share how you did the strobe lights and such> I am a novice at this stuff but an willing to learn.
Well im' no expert but it worked out kinda like this, i had a very old circuit board sitting about the place that would do both the strobes and nav in on package. It worked ok but was a bit fast in the flash rate.
Then i decided to cheat a bit and dived into one of my odds and sods boxes and found an old velleman kit i put together some time back.
This one to be precise...
I got mine here in the UK but they appear to be available in most countries.
Just linked one of the LED terminals together with no led and wired the strobes into the place where the other one would sit and powered the lot with the same 9v battery that drives the nav lights.
Job done with a nice bright flashing at around once a second.
The rest of the 'how' is on the build up pages. Failing that, some folks on this board do the electronics thing and Don's light and magic do a flasher circuit that seems to fit the bill so your not limited in the choice dept.
