Project Update: American Seltzer Company by Bar Mills

I installed lighting fixtures and awnings last night to complete the kit. Included lighting fixtures are of two types. One traditional Tichy dome and brass wire. Second whole fixture  molded in plastic. Latter doesn't need to be assembled so it saves time. However, it has couple of drawbacks. The dome is filled with plastic and just a little bump represents bulb. Dome holder is very flimsy and easy to break. Given a choice I would stick with traditional type. Only I think I should make a jig for wire bending. Otherwise it is time consuming and doesn't yield consistent results. Perhaps I could simply 3D print the jig.
