Love it! I see you utilized Raytheon lighting for the registry at the aft ends of the warp nacelles. Did you encounter any color change with the plastic giving the internal LED's a yellowish tint?

Thanks! What's a Raytheon?!?...
The spotlights on the registry on the nacelles are achieved by lighting that area from within. I ground down the plastic carefully in the area AFTER the model was light blocked .
You just answered your own question The Raytheon technique is illumination from the backside (inside) that gives the illusion of an exterior spotlight. The builders of the original filming model utilized dental mirrors to bounce tiny spotlights onto the hull of the ship. Unless we 1/350 builders decide to use a similar method (tiny LED's set up to shine on our displayed builds, maybe?), Raytheon lighting provides an acceptable substitute. I bring up the color question because some builders experienced the molded plastic giving their LED's a yellow cast, when they wished it to be cool blue or similar. Regardless, you pulled it off wonderfully!
Many Thanks!stunning work!
exquisite lighting work!And a brief video...
