Another Curved Cliff - Post 8

 

Next is wiring the platforms.

Since these wires don't move, the connection end is soldered into the interconnection board.  Then the wire runs up the lift arm support column. Then it dives into the Technic brick and turns 90 degrees through a pin hole.

I use black vinyl tape to secure the wire to the lift arm support column.

In places where the wire might droop and be seen, I use these 2 x 2 modified plates with pin holes.  The other upside to these is that after the all the wires are soldered in, any excess wire can be handled by moving the plate to take up the slack.

Another view with another plate added.

The wires are soldered in place and you can see how the wires are run through the plates pin holes as well as through the technic bricks.

This is is the ceiling of the second floor.

I probably could have run the wires thorough the technic bricks to help support them, but then soldering would have been more difficult.  If the wires ever droop down, then I will use a small plate to trap them between the long technic bricks.

Here is what the lighting looks like for the angled platform.

A different view.

This is the lighting for the matching cliff section.  I went with 3 lights because this was going to be an active maintenance control area on the first floor and a coffee bar on the upper floor.

Another view.
