Well as long as you rock sub-sonic rounds you will be fine.

Like the Monolith, I was joking with mike after you took it that your compulsion would take over and after he got it back it would have lights all over it and a sandwich maker inside

Ok so I have been absent of late but certain dakka projects have sparked creativity so for the last week I have been learning LEDs. To wit I offer these:

do you know that zinge does clear lightbulbls out of resin? you probably could use these...heck you could probably use something and scratchbuild them too...for that matter...

and it look very cool...tho can all those cables be hidden inside and still make the interior be used as inteded?

Yes i did know that and am considering buying some of them for another project. Also, the wire aren't going to be visible from either the interior or exterior....

Took me a week to figure out how to do that.......

The floor is single but the walls are double. There is a section of the front bottom that is hollow for the landing gear that was perfect for hiding wires.


We will see where it goes from here for the wing tip navigating lights and tailfin lights.

Well, the average LED outlives the device it is in, but if one should die it is just dead. Although the power being supplied to them is unlikley to burn them out.....

It would be a pain in the ass to replace one of the LEDs, but it should be possible.

Yeah, you are right. But it would suck. And require repainting.

clever idea to hide the cables in tubes...!!!

A simple way to change led is to use to ones used in dolls house...they use a....ehm...."thing" (Don't know how to translate) that is similare to a socket, and computer led with two pin can be placed here...when the led die you can replace it easly

I like the fans. and they are so much easier than hand making them everytime you need one....


The ammobelts, though, I see no need for right now. I have some Plague marines I want to mod and will be getting some termies to convert to Oblits so maybe in the future.

I haven't seen the ladders will have to check them out.....

Ok, so I got the battery pack installed and power ran to the switch. I still have to add several leads to the wingtips and the tailfin but that shouldn't be too terribly hard with the pack installed because the switch is still outside the body I will have to run more wires throught the body but that, I think easily enough, can be managed through small enough holes.....






I am trying to get as much "dirty work" done before I finish up detail and cleanup because so much o the exterior relies on what wires are running where and how the are ran....

If I had planned better I would not have had to use the tubing to run the wires to the front landing gear structure for the landing lights so I am spending extra time on getting the rest of the wires right the first time.....
