Short update this time….the concept art again….

In between the two half-saucer sections is a narrow strip of lights paired together.
I built a support structure for a blue 12v LED strip for the entire length.

Stuck down the LED strip and soldered two power feed wires.

I then attached secondary supports along the entire length for extra gluing area and alignment.
Also added some light blocking...

I made matched pair holes in .02” (.5mm) styrene, painted them black, and assembled everything together.
Test fire of LEDs. I'll do more light blocking around the LED's later on.

LED section temporarily inserted in between saucer halves for a test fit.
In the future, I’ll decide if any additional enhancements are necessary.

Till next time….
