This is why I love your builds, man. You go that crazy extra distance. My J-II is waiting next on the shelf for when I finish my current 1/350 Refit Enterprise. Then I'm stealing all your ideas.

Be sure to check out post #18 from Harddrive, those walls are amazing. I'm changing course on mine and doing it up like that one!

For your reference, here's the LED strip that I used. Its a 3mm wide 2835smd strip, 120leds/m. Runs off 12v.

Amazon, it was a bit more than the Chinese vendor but I'll get it quicker and it won't be infected

but i got something listed as a 3014 and not the 2835. from looking at harddrive's pic, his looks like there are more smd's spaced closer together

I bought mine from a supplier on Alibaba a couple of years ago.
Ended up just buying 1m samples from them which was more than enough for this project.

Thanks!.....I only saw them there:
It just says contact supplier....no add to cart?
OOPS, i wasn't paying attention, i thought you were asking me
No worries......I will check out Amazon

Say, this is probably a dumb question but...this will be the first time I've used strip lights, I'm using 9V power, do these require a resistor?For your reference, here's the LED strip that I used. Its a 3mm wide 2835smd strip, 120leds/m. Runs off 12v.

thanks
No they have them built into the strip. If you want to dim them further you can add a resistor to either the + or - to dim them down. I do this all the time to make the lighting more realistic and in scale with the model.
