Great job! Your artificial sun is an awesome idea.

This ship has taken quite a turn! Can't wait to see what else you have in store. :cool BTW, love the theatre! This thing is starting to remind me of the luxury liner in the 5th element. Awesome work

Thanks DJW, I'll definitely check out some wire next time I'm at the hardware store.

Thanks for the help robn1! I haven't been able to spot any online so I may go in another direction. This project was supposed to be quick and cheap so buying several 3rd hands is a little out of my budget. My resources are also quite limited as I live in a one bedroom apt. :lol

Katsu's amazing Tempest build really inspired me to pick up a hobby that I haven't touched in over ten years. After a few small projects, I decided that something more serious was in order. I had a 1/450 Hasegawa Yamato and a 1/542 Revell USS Forrestal from childhood that I wasn't especially...
