Nice job...now who did it?

:)

Looks like the Hallmark ornament.

That looks really cool... I don't see any batteries or wires

Oh that is too cool. Really brings the ship to life. : D

Man, I wish you hadn't shown me that . . . now I want to cut up my only Falcon and try this!

Hmm . . . I do wonder though if anyone would like a slip-in lighting kit for their Falcon that would only require cutting out the engine light bar on the existing miniature . . .

Does anyone know what type of lighting strip they used, it doesn't look that hard to do..

Yeah, it would be easy to do...IF we knew what lighting material he used.

Sorry Brother, but it was to cool to keep to myself.

I would be, I have 2 so I could work it up on one and then if it went alright I could try the other.. and I think that would be cool on the Lambda too, just cut out the spots on the back and do the same there.. All sorts of possibilities..

Indeed. Star Wars ships are the easiest to add lights to . . . just slap an LED with a reflector cup behind the engine outlet and connect it to a resistor, battery and switch. Star Trek is the opposite extreme, which is why most of my lighting projects involve SW craft. ;)
