Do it yourself, or was this the guy from Etsy?

did it myself as was the VSD

So....... How much?

You interested in making a tidy profit?

Ps that is simply awesome!

**** man, looks amazing. I mainly asked because I probably would have used him now that I see this quality work. Awesome job!

sorry she is a proud member of my growing fleet and not for decommission. Especially after the hell i went through making her

Haha....totally understand.

If the mortgage is ever late..or ya need a new car..... I'd buy complete rebel and imperial fleets decked out like that

Just a thought . Heheh.... ;)

ill keep that in mind :) glad you like the results i have some ideas for my rebels for mods stay tuned. need a week off though and perhaps actually play the game haha

What are you using to fix the fibres in place? I used various glues but they often melt. Going with hot glue next time around. Also what diameter fibres are they .

Looks great.

That's fantastic can you post about where you got your parts and which ones you specifically used

I use crazy glue actually and have had no issues with melting. Optic fiber is .25mm

I push the fiber through the hole and glue on the back side to not mess up the end.

they key to optics is finding your termination point and solving the puzzle of how to get all the fibers there

here is the gladiators termination point with a sort of plug adaptor i made from shrink tubing i got at hardware store. the 5mm Led slides snug into the large end. all this sits under the battery switch board. You can see all the optics running from the lower portion of the hull to the top half (total pain) and bridge tower also running in. this was only place i could see to fit the termination
