My buddy who also knows how to add lighting to model kits stopped by, we got the engine section off and checked the wires/connections, everything looked good, but it comes back to the LED's I chose to use, they just weren't quality lights. We tried an LED strip I had not used yet and it failed to light up. So the wires were good, but the lights were duds.

In the end, this Battlestar will be a highly detailed, aged & weathered display. 

Well, that sucks.

However, take the good from it: adding electricals to models is notoriously difficult, and the wiring harness you built worked as intended.  The next time you attempt it, I'm sure you'll get exactly the results you want!

Water effects! Now for trees and clean up!

@505thAirborne hey thanks! Same to you. Love seeing what you are working on. 
 

@Cheese3 That looks great! 
 

Making some progress on final assembly. Using a combination of regular cement and CA since lots of the connection points are just shallow rectangular shapes that slide around and I’m nervous about glue messing/creeping around on the paint. Slow and steady.

Really love this color scheme even though the metallics don’t shine as bright as I bet they do in real life.
