Ben Brown Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hi All, I bought a lighting set for my Martian War Machine for my first time at lighting a model, and I'm looking for a good way to evenly diffuse the light in the green nose and wingtip parts so I don't have hot spots. Will spraying the insides of the clear green parts with clear flat or thin flat white work, or am I better off hiding the LEDs behind tissue or thin plastic? Thanks!

The Madhatter Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hi Ben You could also sand the LED itself which helps with diffusion. Putting a thin piece of white or clear sanded plastic can also do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Thanks! I’ll do a little experimenting. I’d never thought of sanding the LEDs. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Tone the insides with black paint to turn down the hotspots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve got the black paint standing by. I’m also going to give the exterior a gloss black base coat before I spray the copper.
