Light lenses

[Frozin]

Hi all,

I joined the site quite some time ago, things have been busy, and not much modeling done, but I found something that may be of interest.

In the local Micheal's craft store I came across a sticker product that makes amazing scale light lenses.

The product is called "Sticko dimensional stickers" made by EK Success. I found them in the Halloween seasonal area (hopefully they may still be available).

I found clear, amber, and multi-colored (red would have been nice). Price was only a couple dollars per package. Good luck on the treasure hunt.

There's probably a lot of variation depending on where you live however I've found a similar item in the craft section of the dollar stores in my area, also specialty shops that deal in scrapbooking supplies.

These are from "Dollarama":


Small amber one for fender marker on a (dusty! ) 1/32 Mack R:


Red for reflector on very back corner of 1/25 AMT flatbed:


I take the supplied "stickum" off and use Testors clear parts cement or epoxy to attach.

That is an AWESOME tip! I've replaced kit headlights with some produced by an outfit called MV Products, but the ones you show look like the same things! THANKS!

Question: Did you scratchbuild those ratchet strap mechanisums on that flatbed? NICE!

Yes, mostly Evergreen styrene with gear taken from old N scale diesel locomotive drive. Strap itself is masking tape, couple in progress pics here:

Hi,
After checking out the ek/success website it looks like all those companies making dimentional stickers are under the same corporate umbrella. So I think any of the art/craft places would carry them.
Thanks for sharing the tip Frozin.
