I purchased The Black Pearl (Golden Version 2025). I am to point of installing LED lights. Kit had lights and wiring but kind of cheesy so I ordered 3v led lights with wires attached and new button battery switch. I'm puzzled on how to attach stern lamps to rib no 17? I cannot find base for lanterns in kit? Lantern has hole in bottom to run wires but seems to me base is requires to attach?
Any help is appreciated.

Welcome aboard!

I don't have this model so I am unable to help you with this. I'm sure someone here can. They have been very helpful to me.

Thanks. I cannot find bases for lanterns in kit. There is hole in bottom of lantern to run wires but looks to me that a base is required. Thanks for reply.
 
Hi
I built this model a few years ago the bases for the lamps are made from there laser cut hexagonal pieces glued together.

See bases bottom right corner and centre. It's a very tight fit to get the castings between the bases, some fitting required.
I hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions also you can check my log for further details.

Here's a link to how I dealt with the lanterns on my build of this ship.

Thanks for link to your build, gives me some ideas on how to proceed. I ordered some pre-wired lights, a two-button switch and pre-wired plugs for lights. I may use some heat shrink tubes to get lights above the two castings on stern.

I drilled two small homes on either side of the centre hole for the LED leads to run through. I cut off a stick pin, put it through the centre hole, and drilled a hole in the stern to push and glue the pin into. I found that there was not enough space on the stern for the two end lanterns because of the Neptune carvings so I placed them slightly forward on the gunwales.

Compré el Black Pearl (versión dorada 2025). Estoy a punto de instalar luces LED. El kit incluía luces y cableado, pero era un poco cutre, así que pedí luces LED de 3 V con cables y un nuevo interruptor de botón. No sé cómo conectar las luces de popa a la nervadura n.° 17. No encuentro la base para las linternas en el kit. La linterna tiene un agujero en la parte inferior para pasar los cables, pero creo que se necesita una base para conectarla.
Cualquier ayuda será apreciada.

Hola, yo estoy haciendo el San Bartolomé de Pavel Nikitin, le he colocado luces en las tres linternas de popa, para ello, utilizo como soporte un tubo de latón de 3 mm, por su interior transcurren los cables y de ahí pasan al interior, ten cuenta que si quieres doblar el tubo, antes deberás llenar su interior con arena por ejemplo, esto evitará que se colapse al doblar, espero haber servido de ayuda un saludo
