Hello friends. I am currently preparing the entire lighting system and making sure there is no light leak. I have covered the inside of the model with metallic paper, leaving only the areas where the LED strips will go. It is important to plan in advance where you are going to place the LEDs so...

Hello edge10. I have no intention of hitting you, nor do I have any intention of correcting those bases. :lol: It may seem stupid, but the truth is that sometimes there are minor details that obsess me, and other times there are larger and more obvious details, like in this case, that don't...

Hello friends. I have completed work to provide lighting to the hangars and bays. In both bays, the only thing I have done are the side openings through which the light will enter directly in the large one, and through Ø0.5 mm optical fibers in the small one. For the hangars in both bays, I...

Currently working in the side trenches. Finally, I have decided to increase the height of the trenches by 2 mm. The difference between 1.5 and 2 mm does not seem important to me. I even think it is more accurate to replicate the height of the IL&M model. But I recognize that the main reason why...

Hello JimmyB. I'm glad to have been useful to you.(y)

Hello Fett_Ish, thank you very much for your comment. The truth is that I'm still not sure how I will finally do it. I just bought some Ø13mm lenses and I have to wait for them to arrive from China to see the effect I get. I'm not in a hurry, this will be decided once all the work pending on the...

Hello Mijob, I like the brightness of the LEDs as they are now. The value of the resistors I am using is enough to protect the LEDs and maintain high brightness. That's what I look for to illuminate the engines. Thanks for your comment.

Just beautiful!! :love:

Hello friends. I am currently working on the engine lighting system. For each of the four secondary thrusters I am going to use a Ø5 mm white flickering LED. These LEDS fit very well in the opening of the thrusters and, compared to the original model, they look quite good and I am not going to...

Hello friends. This weekend I finished detailing the rear of the Star Destroyer. As I said, I have not attempted to reproduce the details of the IL&M model. My only goal has been to try to enrich its visual appearance and create a feeling of greater complexity. I have also detailed the...

Hello folks. I'm going to tell you what my installation is like so I can use the Dremel's flexible arm without having to worry about turning it on or off. The Dremel is hanging from a hook, so I can freely use the flexible arm but, more importantly, I plug it in the ON position to a socket that...

Moving further into the extra detailing, I realized that the front center detail of the highest level of the superstructure is the same as the one on the right side of the bridge. I had already added a small detail made from scratch but, since the kit includes two repeated pieces of the sides of...

Very interesting but, would it be possible that we could enlarge the images? I'm looking forward to seeing your finished model.

Hello Antsnest, thank you very much for your comment. Your idea about the low rev drill is very interesting. First I'm going to test how the bits behave with the plastic cover using my mini electric drills. If I continue to have problems using its lower speed, I may very well be encouraged to...

The neck is finished. A lot of scratch work on the back end, but I'm very pleased with the result. I also made the left side piece of the bridge from scratch. The one that comes in the kit is symmetrical to the one on the right side and looks nothing like the original model. Now it's much...
