Don't know if it's too late or not here, but this thought just occurred to me, plus I'm hoping for an update to I can try to duplicate your work or commission you to do my CR90 and Raider.

The Homeworld Remastered Collector's Edition had a ship model that was lit up, and it was powered by a USB cord that plugged into the base and ran up through the (relatively) thin stand into the ship itself. Maybe you can use a rechargeable battery with a micro USB port on the ship? Knowing nothing about electronics except how to use the ones other people build, I have no idea if I'm spouting nonsense or not, but hopefully I'm not.

Wanted to share my lighting projects from Armada myself. They're on eBay, but the pics are okay.

I'm working on a Ghost right now.

Share! I just posted a bunch of mine.

I've started working on lighting this today.

So far I've not even had luck getting the side caps off so I can fully separate the body.

It's still in the freezer...

Lol, that scenario begs for the Obi-wan quote. You know the one.

As far as the ship goes, I'm stalled until I can figure out this circuit. I don't want to mess with the battery, so I'm waiting till I can build a simple recharging circuit for it. Just gotta understand how to do that, heh...

How did you / what did you use to make the bridge insert? Is it 3d printed or plasticard or a kit bash?
