Thank you so much for sharing all of this - it will make my build go by like a dream!
 
The rusting on this piece and overall black wash/weathered look really adds a dimension of realism. Awesome detailing and colour looks spot on to the movie version too! Great work. its going to be a real piece of artwork when its all put together!
 
More. The kit part on the left and on the right my new wire replacement that I soldered up.

No problem Jason we're all here to help each other.
 
A little bit more painting done.
I was also able to install some more lighting tonight so I'll post a light test vid tomorrow.

Some work on the lighting of the front end of the Bird OF Prey.
This pictures shows the the red acetate that had to be cut and fitted, and the diffuser material which evens out the light and stop you seeing inside.

This next one is shows the lighting arrangement inside with the two window leds shielded so the white light doesn't bleed into the "warm white" I wanted for the windows.

The last is the finished effect.
