Every time I show the underside to someone they usually go WOW!!!!

You don't see how much fibers this thing contains from the top.

Looks great ! Shame about that faulty light on the ship though . My experience in lighting is VERY limited , but I know how frustrating that can be . I just built the Bandai ( Pre-painted , snap fit ) re-fit Enterprise for a friend and it was working perfectly , UNTIL I decided to glue some parts for a better fit and yes , you guessed it , the lights now don't work !

 

[Grendels]

Thanks!

It is not worth taking this apart and trying to fix it. It would be easier to start over and just build a new one.

I did find it frustrating, but with this experience at least I know even more about lighting kits and getting them to look right. This was a very positive build for me. I really enjoyed this one.

Time to find more like it.

;D
