Well, you went with yellow, and I went with blue. To me, those smaller "ights" are actually periscopes for the driver to use to see better. But, they could be lights. I would use this tutorial on how to paint gemstones, as the lights could be considered that way. Or, paint smaller concentric rings going towards the center, which each ring being a lighter and lighter color, with the center being white. There is this tutorial on spotlights that might help as well. Good luck! |

You can also brush gloss varnish on the lens/light after the rest of the model has been selaed in order to accentuate the light reflection effect.
