WIP The Magic Circle

[NigelR]

Fascinating and looking very good. Is that a blue light under the circle? It looks really cool...

Playing with the LEDs now; still lots of painting & construction of the fire & groundwork to continue. This is overly blue; I have more white LEDs on order, I can control their color with theatre lighting gels. Small lights will be added on the ridge in the back to dimly light the building. The smoke also just a make-do using cotton balls. Lots of refining needed.

 

[MattMcK.]

Looking good. Do please share how you use LEDs, that's one aspect I would really like to understand better.

The best source for info is Evans Designs who stock a great selection and are super helpful if you have questions. All their items already have the electronic stuff I don’t understand (resistors and whatnot) pre wired so no figuring out boards, soldering (unless you want to for stronger connections) etc. See their info page here, with tons of tutorial videos at the bottom of the page: https://evandesigns.com/pages/tips-for-using-leds. Can’t recommend them highly enough! If you can match red to red and black to black and twist wires together, you can do it.

Thanks for the info on LEDs. one day I will definitely give this a go.......

Hi Matt

It's amazing the ingenuity of modellers using things like LED ......your certainly going for the effects and it's looking more interesting and effective with each update

Intrigued about the approach for the smoke your going to go for

Following with interest

Happy lighting

Working on lighting and smoke now. The smoke will be thinned out and given color soon.

Wow! It's so ... magic!

Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Beautifully done.
