Adding lighting to models is SO easy! Or is it???

[chrislunetta]

I want to add led/fiberoptic lighting to my models. Is adding lighting as easy as they make it look in those tutorial videos for a novice? Or is this a case of experienced people who make it look easy? I've never used soldering iron before. How big of a learning curve is there on this?

I've never tried but I like when I see folks that have used them.

I tried it for the first time on a sub and it's fairly easy but you really need to think ahead of where the wiring goes and what you want to light. Also bear in mind the power source.

I had loads of great help from other members much more experienced than I. Pantherman
