X-wing lighting
Just finished the latest project! Lighting kits for X-wing models.
 These can operate on a 9v battery OR a wall wart. We stuck the lights into PVC so that we could show what the engine lights would look like.

Re: X-wing lighting
How long will these be available and do you do lights for Vipers? I have a few vipers ahead of my X Wing build.

Re: X-wing lighting
Looks really cool and a good price, but what all does it light up on the classic? Does it do the R2 lights?

Re: X-wing lighting
8 – 5mm LEDs in a random flickering pattern (red / orange on a movie board, white on a McQuarrie-style board)
2 – 5mm warm white LEDs that are steady on 4 – 1mm LEDs (red, blue, green, yellow) with random blinking effect |

Re: X-wing lighting
Which Viper are you lighting Frank? I have three different Vipers and I'm looking to light them all.

Re: X-wing lighting
What color are the tiny LEDs? I'm pretty sure it's do-able, just checking with my dad.
Brundel, the boards are $85 (that includes shipping). |

I love the professionalism of these boards. Did you and your dad design the board?

Re: X-wing lighting
Thanks guys! Although I have training in electronics, I did nothing but type up the spec. My dad designed the boards. He's been an engineer for over 40 years.
