I Want to go back in time a bit. Because there is one thing I did not show yet. I added leds in the guns. (kind of radar light I guess.) It was very tricky to drill the glass fiber in the barrel

So I removed the part of the stand and added a headset connector to it. Also made a connector to the main body. I also want to light the engines. So to prevent light leaks, I taped silver tape on the inside, to cover all the large holes in the model. Made a small box that holds the engine leds and blocks the light from getting in the rest of the model. Because the lights are very bright, I put some diffuser in the engine outlet. Al most ready to put everything together.

Massassi Well-Known Member Joined Aug 25, 2013 Messages 82 City & State/Province Yavin Jun 10, 2015 #71 The effect is on every part that has the base gray color. It is created by adding silver to the base color. Then getting a small sponge and putting the paint on there, generating a different pattern every time by turning the sponge.
