The keep it simple principal has come back to haunt me again.When I designed the Albatros diorama, I really didnt take into consideration the fact that someone other than a modeler would have to change the light bulbs when they burned out.I know how to do it but I doubt that anyone else would bother, even if I left instructions.You actually have to remove the roof of the hangar to gain access.
The Nieuport however, because of its design ,has easy access to the bulbs .If you can change a Christmas tree light you can do it.
I am ,however, faced with the same problem with the Jenny diorama as I had with the Albatros.Namely,that it is a self-contained unit,much like a dollhouse and therefore access to the bulbs is much more difficult.(In self defence however, at the time I had no idea that these dioramas would end up where they are going.)What seemed like no problem at all, is now not possible to easily fix.Oh well, at least I have some good pics of how it looked when new.
With the Jenny I face the same self-contained unit problem and I would like to wire it like the Albatros but make light changing easier.Any ideas? Cheers! John.
