HUGE mess with Li-on battery the fist one never came in :-X

So I order another and then the first ebayer say hey I send you another one and so I cancelled the second order BUT the second battery of the first ebayer never arrived too :-\

And now people in the expo want to see it all light up, son want to see it all light up also and family and friends too and I have no battery available and no order placed

So I ordered an second battery not on ebay this time because I had problem with battery only with ebay and never with my other source

But she will be not here before many days so I had to come with an immediat and good temporary solution :

So I made a 3.6v 1000 mah nimh pack out of 3 1.2v rechargable nimh cells:









And now she is all light up:





Some weathering touches to do like these ones:










And then I will weathered and put this one in place:



And after that we will be close to the end on this project :

Way to do it yourself! Looks like you are just about there and it's looking good all lit up. Those cockpit details you showed previously really pop.

 

[Quaralane]

Excellent improvisation with the battery pack there.
Ship is looking really sharp
