Love the AC. I think the rig will need solar panels too!

I left room for them. Not sure I can figure out how to make them believable. Maybe black vinyl behind clear acrylic will at least suggest them. Still on the maybe list.

Never thought of that. I think I have several of those solar garden lights that I was going to use to light buildings before I decided to use the track as a lighting power buss. More junk inspecting scheduled!

I was gonna suggest the solar light panel. Lol
OK. I’m easy.
I dug out my stash of garden solar lights…
Not really happy with the sizes…
So I decided I’d fabricate some simulated panels using clear acrylic, matte black vinyl and some plastruct angle left over from a bridge project These are Fn3 models of Go Power 200 watt panels…
The trim could have been done better, but I’m OK with it. If you look closely in the reflections, you can see the adhesive pattern of the wrap vinyl 
I decided to keep the door I already made and clad it with some of the scribed siding. I used the same siding and stain color to enclose the kingpin area (not pictured)…
Now back to what I had planned for today; light the interior and button up the box.

Dude great job. In this case the KISS method (keep it simple stupid) worked out. Those are simple panels yet look great. Much better than the 1:1 would have. Your concern was my concern when mentioned. They are just gonna be too chunky. Great job.

I think the roof details are done…
I got the fairy light LED string installed inside. It looks pretty good so I buttoned up the box. Before I did, I made an access hole in the bottom to allow switching the lights on/off and changing the battery.
Tomorrow I’ll finalize a few details on the door side, get the door installed and attach the box to the flat.
