Hi gang
HOME STRETCH YAAAAAAAY!
Decided to ditch the clear lense idea as they didnt give the sense of depth I wanted. Made some plugs up and went for one of the less gaudy spectrum of reflected colours for the lenses and added black edges to give the sense of depth. Finished with five coats of sprayed clear varnish and bobs your uncle!

Slightly clearer shot of the lenses:
and new flat headed LED headlights fitted, got rid of those horrible round things. (The top and turret are not screwed down yet btw)
and the intensity is better as well:
Drivers lenses tonight. Will post up when in.

Hi Bruce

They slot straight in and really look the part especially when off. The flat head really takes that toy like look away.
