Christmas Tree
Built by Adrian Ashford in January 2014
This is completely my own idea. It is made in the flat, the trunk being represented by long strips, and the main branches by 5½” Curved Strips, shorter ones being used at the top. Two 3-way Rod and Strip Connectors represent a star on top. Red and yellow ½” plastic Pulleys attached to the ends of the branches by MW Models Narrow Fishplates represent baubles.
There are 10 lights using Elektrikit Lamps and Bulb Holders. Using appropriate all green parts, I found that I could only get an earth return to three of the lamps, due to the enamel acting as an insulator, so I had to run two wires to every lamp!
