@sundancer – a moving shutter? Inside a 28mm head? Wow. Now that I’d love to see! (I did once make an R2D2 with a rotating head in either 28mm or 32mm; the stepper motor was *tiny* but did 90 degree steps – so his head didn’t exactly turn as flip side to side, although it looked liked a drone coptor rotor if you left it spinning!) I think any moving parts at 28mm are out of the window (except on larger terrain pieces). I’m going to see if I can solder 5 x 0603 LEDs in a row, then see how big that array of LEDs works out at, then run multiple wires down to a microcontroller in the base to go “swoosh, swoosh”. I’m still not convinced it’s possible. But at least we’ll know for sure soon….
