ex GNR somersault signal concrete post 4mm scale

For those who may not have seen this eleswhere, I thought it might be of interest.

The concrete effect is by spraying in grey primer and sprinkling on some scenic material, in this case it is actually a product from a pet store intended for reptile vivariums (is that the plural? I am going into that). I believe it is some type of volcanic sand. I may try something a bit less gritter next time. The post was then painted a more concrete colour, though the colours in the video don't look right.

The post is from a two part etch (PPD did the etching), so the centre is hollow, thus facilitating the wires for the working lamp. The post is design to build a standard square post, so I added the holes afterwards.

All the other signal parts are from Wizard Models.

The LED is a 0603 SMD Warm white. Servo is a Towerpro 9g driven by a MERG Serv04 with Sema4 firmware, modified by myself.

I may have a play about with the settings in time as I think it is a bit too fast at the moment https://youtu.be/VtyqAuen_wI
