A trio of houses

Wow these LED lights are really something I agree with Steve I love them. How do you hook these lights up to the battery?

Thank you everyone.
Jane, I like using the graph paper as it is marked off in 1/8 inch squares. I use this method so I can get the proportions right.

I will be using a battery for the power source. Most likely a 9 volt battery. I will take some pictures of the wiring when I get to that part. The LEDs are available in different colors and I am using yellow ones to light the interior of these houses. I hope it will produce a warm glow through the windows.

I am posting one more picture today. This is the house with glitter, the porch attached and the porch roof. The paint bottle in the foreground is a model paint bottle just for size comparison. You can also see the windows and the door that I created in Paint.

Hello everyone,
I know I haven't posted anything in a long time but I had eye surgery in April and I didn't heal like I hoped I would. I am just now getting back to the trio of houses.
I am posting some pictures of the LED lights. Looking down into the houses you can see the two yellow LED's as well as the wiring. The balsa wood block is holding the switch onto the back wall so it doesn't get pushed in when turning the lights on and off. There is also a small yellow light on the porch.
I have also posted a picture of the back of the house where you can see the switch. I still need to do some touch up paint around the switch.
Take care everyone,
Lee

I Lee!
It's wonderful to have you back!! I'm sorry to hear you had such a long recovery. Wow what a great job on the lighting, I can't wait to see when you hit the switch and turn on the lights!
