[WIP] US Capitol Light Test, south side, terrace wall
WARNING!: If you're a purist LEGO builder, "You can go about your business. Move along. Move along."
Rebuilding the U.S. Capitol building [set #21030] from scratch with modifications based on techniques I've learned over the past couple of years and adding lighting using Brickstuff custom built lights.
I was having a tough time trying to figure out lights small enough that they *might* be believable. I was at the point where I had almost decided that nothing would work when I ran across a trans neon-green whip antenna [part #2569] in my miscellaneous loose parts collection. Turns out the ball end of the antenna IS small enough to be a light. You can slip the top of the whip antenna into short piece of hose and put a light at the base and you get...wall lights!
