Nice lighthouse MT. How is the heat gun derex? Does it work on a small area? I have one but mine is meant to heat a large area.

Update to the 1/100000 SSD. Found some hollow 1/100000 SDs on the shapeways and had to light them. Each one holds 1 pico led and is powered with a 3 volt battery.

Like Sketchley said it is from Macross II. I have had the files for a few years now.

Derex, Is that the DS9 station? Some of the latest projects. Sorry for the out of focus for the SSD. That is the 1/100000 Bandai and it was a pain to light. I used 13 pico orange leds and about 15 feet of .10mm fiber optic. The other model I printed over the weekend, 1/1000 UN Spacy Corvette. I have another 8-10 ready to paint or almost finished and should have some more finished over the next 2-3 weeks.

Nice C-3PO and R2D2.

Mechtech, the paper roll holder is something I found in the garbage at work. It falls out of some of our old shipping tubes that we use. The metallic paint is Vallejo Chrome. I have moved away from enamels and found that Vallejo paints work for me.

I just found out about Minitech models last month and have kits 001-012. The detail is really nice and I will tackle painting them when I have time again in a few months.

Nicely lit star destroyer. Is that the Bandai 1/5000 kit?

Had a Stargate SG1 buildfest. These are 1/2500 from Bad Azz. I think they are small for that scale but are nicely detailed. Hope you enjoy.

Forgot to add "Vamps last stand at Mar Base Sara".

Just finished. Try some new techniques I learned off of youtube. Enjoy one of Capt's Tomahawk.

Thanks for the pointers Arbit. This was my first attempt at lightening a model kit and did learn much from this one. I did paint the inside black but I am guessing that the coat was not even through out and the 3mm LEDs where brighter then I thought. Live and learn. Nice Skygrasper Vifam7.

Nicely done.

Won a bronze for this Bandai mini Star Destroyer at 2019 WF in Louisville . Ran 18 feet of .10 mm fiber optic for windows, 2 pico LEDs in the hangar, and 3 LEDS (3mm) for the engines. If I build another one I will use pico LEDs for the engines instead of the 3mm. They are a bit large for the interior. Right now I am working on the Bandai mini Super Star Destroyer and attempting to light that won as well.

Looking good. Will the missiles be separate?
