My Star Destroyer

[Socrates11]

Still new in this world but I enjoy it a lot.. got a new model done. It's the Ravelling 1:2700 star destroyer on a fantasy strand. The star destroyer can just be picked up from the stand (power with a connector on one of the stands). Very pleased to be honest. Now working on the Republic star destroyer

Good lighting with "warm" lights as it should be.
Paneling is not overdone, some builds go too dark and it ruins the sense of scale.

Another joins the fleet!

Yes warm white is more like the original.. I don't like the blue versions there are or there. I have flickering blue engines. And a few random red lights. If I would do it a second time the results would be even much better but for a first try I'm proud.. but I don't even dare to say the amount of hrs I put it in... It's totally crazy!!!

Great work. I got into this hobby a little over a year ago, and LED lighting is something I have yet to attempt. If you don't mind sharing, did you order a kit or rig the lights up yourself. I picked up this kit with the intention of it being my first run with lighting. I was in a local Dollar Tree (local discount store) and found a string of blue LED lights (12 if I remember correctly) that run on 2 AA batteries - the size and brightness would look really good for the "small" engines - picked up a couple of strings with white LEDs and a couple with yellow to possibly light up the hull.

I'm considering using these lights if I can find a way to connect all the strings to one power source. (I haven't done the research yet to see if this would work - but thought it'd be a good first project to begin learning lighting).

Anyway, great Destroyer.

Hey Jimmer,
Happy to help you if I can.
This was my first lighting project myself and have no electronics experience.
I just tried to get it done with trail en error.
And Google helpt me out a lot.

I will never buy a lightning kit because they are to overpriced so that's why I learn to make it myself.
I used fiber optic and solders all LEDs myself with the proper resistors.
All based on 12v power. I don't want to use Batteries because I'm to lazy replacing them and I want to power it all day when I'm home and not replace batteries every 2days.
I'll show you some pic from the inside when I was working on it.

Thanks so much for the details, Socrates11. Completely agree about using batteries, and you've inspired me to give this a shot. Again, that's amazing work - especially for your first go around with lighting. Thanks again.
