Looks great John!

You'll have to put together a tutorial on the wonderous world of Brass, and how to connect it.

John, great work.  If it is not too much trouble to do, you may want to start a side business making these.  As for illumination, you may want to try the HO scale lamps that have the green shades.  I think they come 3 to a package.  I plan on using these to detail some of the structures I have.

Here it is.....The Top Secret Project.

John did a great job.

This billboard is made from brass. Soldered together and painted.

Thank you, John.
