    Cut a hole in the base of the ship to make a push fit for the top section of the battery holder.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Add your toy filling, and wait for the heat from the LED to set it alight! (don't try this at home shipmates)

    Dang! I'm going to have to hit the teenybopper costume jewelry shops when this pandemic is over to look for some of these light up earings! Do they flash as well?

    I tried a flashing type for my Orient model, but the flash is too fast to look realistic. It is also very difficult to catch it on for photographing Vol. You can get the earrings on Amazon very reasonably priced for a pair, and cheaper than the components cost at Maplins, becaose I tried those first.
    Do make sure that you buy the orange ones. Red is too red and not as bright either.

    Right, orange it is! Thanks for the tip Rob. Hmmm, wonder what the comment will be when my wife sees I'm buying cheap little earings on our Amazon prime account?
