Quick light test as the LED's arrived this morning. I need to diffuse the hell out of them lol. But still fun!

 

[nicholassagan]

Attach that thing to the front of your car man!

 

[LrdSatyr8]

You should be able to warn ships about the rocks with those!

 

[Dark Kyp]

awesome job done so far!

Well, it would be great in front of the car, with a cylon movement added ;D

 

[Bizarre]

no words now. I've been always amazed by your LED skills

 

[Quaralane]

Engine is looking good.
Like you said, just needs good diffusion now

Lol thanks guys, I do need to revist those lights but first I needed a stand for this, not only for displaying it but also to keep it strong and rigid and handy to hold while painting. There's nothing pretty or clever here but it works really well. A simple floating shelf wall bracket was used. I will go back in and fill the gun area and maybe add the window frame canopy, which will be the old AMT Vader Tie fighter canopy....if it fits!

Cool John,.....one less shelf to put things on :-[

....and in the last pic.....Is that you running about the house with it making rocket sounds?

I bet he was... and I'm sure his wife was passing by the doorway and caught him in the act and just stood there shaking her head wondering what she married! LOL

 

[JohnSimmons]

Ha ha there was no noises.... :-X.....maybe some ;D

 

[Junkie]

vrooooooomswoooosh

 

[Bizarre]

are you going to walk with it outside using as torch ? ;D

 

[JohnSimmons]

I have it blinking near my window so low flying aircraft do not crash into my house!

 

[LrdSatyr8]

Yeah... we know John... wait til the wife is out then you can vroom it all over the house making all the noises phew phew phew vrooooooooooommmmmmmm. Hehhehehehehehe

 

[nicholassagan]

Nice support! It's looking more and more like the studio version!!

BTW - I caved and ended up getting one of these beasts

 

[JohnSimmons]

Lol
Ok so some more work on the lights, and using a simple plastic milk bottle I can diffuse the lights perfectly:




And I've managed this whole build not injuring myself and today the knife slipped. Be warned this kit WILL harm you lol:

 

[nicholassagan]

Whoa doggy! It's not a real build if it doesn't make you bleed. Good to know it's red and not some superhuman green or blue

 

[Bizarre]

oh shit, man. now you are blood brothers with that model

 

[Grendels]

Ouch!!!

I have been warned about Vinyl kits that they have the same need for blood. I hope that doesn't happen to me.

Nice work on the engines.
