Flickering Fire



I have been busy again. I am building a new construction and trying out some new ideas. I wanted a flickering fire in this one. I also wanted to add a cauldron hung from a crane. I had purchased these for something else but they wouldn't fit. I made this fireplace so I could use them at last.

I have something, in my dolls house, which has a flickering fire and I really wanted something along the same lines. However, finding a circuit board and the same light bulbs, proved to be very difficult. The person who put the one I have, together, refused point blank to sell me a unit. So I will be out of luck if that one fails!

After a lot of searching, I eventually found somebody with something similar and this is what is used here.

It took longer to get it to work and fit but this turned out to be a faulty LED bulb which was only identified after quite a few attempts. I worked then didn't the worked again and repeated. Once I had a new bulb, it worked first time. It was very frustrating. 

So now I am looking at some other things like animations.
