Thanks Loren, I used a few suppliers. The tubing and shade is from Ngineering , I bought the prewired micro LEds from eBay they are from China sold under the name WeBeHonest I think.

Steve,
The Ngineering lamp shades are great, used them on the Hoffinmier Brewery, but soldering the LED was not some much fun, as was trying to get them to work with the magnet wire.. I will have to look for the LEDs you bought.
Thanks,

Steve,
You just convinced me to light part of my new build, just purchased the 0402 pre wired warm white leds from webehonest.....still have some of the Ngineering parts left.
Thanks,

Glad I could help Loren. The only downside is the LEDs take a long time to get to you. It was a few weeks so order way more than you need.
I'm pretty patient when it comes to fine detail work but soldering those micro LEDs just isn't worth it to me, at least not when I can buy 20 pre-done for around $10.00

I also used www.ledcalc.com to calculate necessary resistors for my circuits. Just punch in your values and it tells you the resistor you need.

Small update tonight, I got the roof mostly finished for the welding shop. I used the same techniques as the tower and the small shed, individual cedar shingles colored with chalk washes followed by dry brushing with white and light gray.





I installed the track and I plan to plant the main building this weekend. I'll post another update as soon as I get them down.

Thanks for checking in.
