My LED fleet

By Wawa666, in Star Wars: Armada Painting and Modification

Hi,

It is not as cool as other posted here but still I am proud of it. First was VSD- good model to start- medium size (model) allow to gain some experience in dissassembling models and instal LEDs with limited space inside the model. Installation looks a bit harsh but final effect it looks great sitll :)
ISD was 2nd and it was struggle to drill holes in engines exhausts- some of them fell apart from the model while drilling (You can notice total anihilation of detalis on central engine exh. f.e.- it was pushed against the table during the drill).
Last one (so far)- GSD. I was ambitious at first - planned to LED also mini engines in the middle, main hangar bay and side ones- but in the end only main engines was fully LEDed and for illumination of 6 little engines I've covered holes with sticky tape (from the inside to difract light) and used only 2 LEDs.

new model with LEDs

Those look amazing

That Gladiator looks especially impressive.

Looks pretty freaking awesome to me.

thanks.

GSD will be upgraded with hangar LEDs; holes are already there but first I need to visit my electronics shop and get THE SAME LEDs I've used (others won't work on the same circuit :/ ) or install 2nd power source (and that may be just impossible...)

Quality stuff!!!

Shiny, I should try this some time.

Right. I really want to do this, but am, A. Terrified of opening up my ships and B. Not sure how to do this nice and neatly.

Very cool and would be impressive to see in a game.

Practice on something you're not using, and always be patient.

You are a motherfucker artist!!!!
