Lighting the corridors
I wanted to light the corridors and my first idea didn’t really work out. I had got some polycarbonate sheet with a frosted finish to use as the translucent areas of the corridors and the back of the bridge, this didn’t really prove to be as opaque as I wanted so I put 2 layers on the corridors. I had got some cheap and cheerful fairy lights that I thought I could use for a light source but as you can see from the second picture it was a bit of a point light source.
On the third picture I had managed to get small sheet of 3mm perspex diffuser from ebay and I put a piece being the polycarbonate but I still wasn’t happy with the result.
I decided I needed a better light source and so I went with a roll of 12V led’s that I could cut into small strips, to place behind the perspex diffuser. The results are in the photos below.
