Re: Some questions of lighting kit for LEGO Disney Castle
Hi @Ling Hsiung - for whatever it's worth, I've installed lights AFTER building the set (Disney Castle set, Ferris wheel) and during the build itself (lighting the Ninjago City, a non-kit setup).…

@Marc A Pretty much as Rob said - both the potential culprits, that the entire effort doesn't need to await complete wire-in... and probably to double-check all the connections.…

Old Fishing Store # 21310

I'll be honest: this is probably -- by far -- my favorite set in recent memory*. (* Ninjango City is in the corner next to build, but the bar's set pretty high.…

Some drilling is sometimes worth the pain. ;) (Though I try to only drill "cheap" Bricklink-priced parts, not the super rare ones... but a pinched wire can rapidly lead to shorts and fried…

Re: New Millennium Falcon # 75192
First, totally awesome. The build with the lights. As much as I try to be a Brickstuff purist -- and not a Falcon owner -- I didn't realize the rear was blue tubing.…

Re: 10249 Winter Village Toy Shop Christmas Tree
That is awesome! And even if not integrated into the build, just color the wires brown and call 'em roots! My visions of sugarplums aren't so elaborate,…

Re: Best long-wire ideas?
Late update, but here we are. The DIY was the way to go. Using some surplus alarm wire (22 gauge I think), I've made both an extension for Lady Liberty,…

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
@mellojello I've pondered how to get more light in here, but the "best" way to do it would probably bump the bed out one dot and inserting some space between the two (as built,…

Haunted House # 10228

Only because it's nice to consolidate things here versus Instagram, y'know. ... but, if only there was a spooky way one could light up the 2012 spook-tactular build.…

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
@Rob Klingberg @mellojello Short answer, the light move-around works, of course... but there's very little room in there. As expected, it throws less light into the bedroom side,…

Re: Disney LEGO Castle # 71040 - Exterior light installation
@Kathryn Forbes That's exactly how you'd light it (orange, yellow or even warm white would probably deliver the expected glow for both the pumpkin or, spun about, the jack-o-lantern for Halloween).…

Re: Disney LEGO Castle # 71040 - Exterior light installation
Hmmm... a couple of thoughts come to mind. Do you have a photo of the single connector to share? It could be the wires were crossed up when assembled (after all, these are lovingly hand made).…

Re: Disney LEGO Castle # 71040 - Exterior light installation
@Kathryn Forbes The highest point on the journey is definitely the interior lights -- exterior and fibre lights are far easier (the latter is the easiest; they just snap on). 🙂

Re: Disney LEGO Castle # 71040 - Exterior light installation
@Kathryn Forbes oh... ouch! Did the wire get pinched? (I've done that to myself a few times, and yup, a twist splice and/or solder and good as newish)!

Re: Ninjago City # 70620
