I got am imperial guard army and want to paint them to the best of my ability. I also want some LED's, one of them I want to be flashing. I cant seem to find a tutorial anywhere online. I don't know if I am using the wrong terms to search or what, but I've been trying to search for the past hour or so off and on, and I've just found some finished works, but no tutorials. Your help finding a good one would be greatly appreciated (especially would appreciate a tutorial on making one flash). Thank you.


Found this:http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/512497.page But I was really hoping for a good guide, step by step, with pictures or a video.

Resin Printer (minaitures) is a 4K printer with one of the largest build volumes available for a resin printer (192mm x 120mm x 245mm) with an amazing .01mm resolution! This professional printer is one of the best resin printers on the market!

FDM Printer (terrain) also has one of the largest build volumes available for an FDM printer (400mm x 400mm x 450mm) and has an amazing ,05mm build accuracy.

Personally I think it's a pretty cool idea. You can now get flashing LEDs with integrated electrickery, so you don't need any extra circuit boards or stuff - just a battery and a switch.

I don't know the details of the kit you want to put this LED into, but in principle you just need to drill a hole where you want the light to go, install a battery and switch in the cavity of the model, and wire it all up.
If you can integrate or adapt the switch so that it looks like part of the hull of the model, so much the better.

Is this link any good to you?
