Video of them in action here:

Fiber optics, custom 3d-printed light box for flashing green LED, hot glue stick for engine diffuser, ring magnets and ball bearings for peg mounts. Paint jobs not finished.

(Yes, that is a Houndstooth with the wings cut off in the background. I'm magnet mounting them so the ship will be easier to store/transport.)

Holy S@#&!!! They look spectacular. Have you repainted them silver too?

Silver-ish? The color is "Plate Mail Metal" by Army Painter. It's a little more burnished looking. I've only got a base coat of that on them so far. Need to do some color highlights, a dark wash to bring out the panel lines, and then some dry brushing for edge highlights. :)

Dang, that's awesome!!
