I mixed my own Acrylic paints to match the car. Here I have drilled out the front grill assemble and glued in the three 1mm 1½ volt bulbs.

I have chopped up a couple of 1:87 figures and painted Nero and his right hand detective Archie. I installed the two .03" contact brass rods and connected all four bulbs and it's ready for assembly.

This is a nice addition to my layout. Next will be a 1938 Elery Queen Packard Coupe.
