Brilliant! The lights really add scale to the ship. Are you going to light the engines too?

Re: Randy Cooper Star Destroyer with lights.

Thanks Guys
I finished the radar array on top of the bridge today. Just needs painting.

I have also finally managed to fit the engines today. A couple of small items to add and the model will be finished.

Wanna see em lit? Oh OK then...

Heres a small peek inside before the insert goes in

closer....

And there are all the fibre optics inside.

Immense! You'll have to video a fly-by to really show this thing off!

Re: Randy Cooper Star Destroyer with lights.

If its not too much trouble PM how much you charge for a model like this. I would love to have one and you seem to be an expert modeler.

All that work really payed off.

Thanks guys. Im not sure yet, this could be my last commission build. We have a Baby due any time now and eventually i will be staying at home and looking after her.
There was talk of a 1/4 diorama of Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers entering the Blockade runner.
As for how much i would charge , i dont Think i would do another one of these. Its just too much work.

Re: Randy Cooper Star Destroyer with lights.FINISHED

Finished at last. This is the huge resin 36 inch Randy Cooper Stardestroyer. Theres about 22 LEDs and a rediculous amount of Fibre optics used. I did enjoy the build but i would not do another. Too much work and too much time went into it. It will be off to its new owner soon so heres the photos while i still have it.

Heres a view underneath

Im the lucky client this masterpeice is going to, and what a masterpeice it is.
As always Andy you have done an absolutly fantastic job on this for me and cant wait to get my mits on it.
The lighting looks fantastic especially that rear end, that engine section looks real.
Pulling rabbits out of the hat is getting the norm now

All the very best with your new little project on its way :lol

 

[Lord Abaddon]

That is an outstanding build! Probably one of the best I've seen for lighting, I'm insanely jealous!!

And congratulations on your forthcoming live replica-of-mommy-and-daddy prop! :lol

 

[el loco]

Gunpowder you've make a top job.
That light effect is great.

 

[boons888]

[Gunpowder]

Thanks guys. Its been fun , but at the same time im glad its over!

 

[Scratchy]

Spectacular! A sweet looking display piece!

 

[Dr Strange Lulz]

This may very well be the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

I'm curious, what size fiber optic filament do you use?

And do you buy single strand and just cut to size?
