What size fiber optics did you use?

what ever comes bundled in the 32 strad bundle. I used a size 70 drill bit for the holes. I think they look bigger in the pics I have up, I was looking at the bridge area and looks bright in the pics but in person looks just right... I finished up the base today, the paint is on there good now so im going to start in with the paneling and I need to clean up a few areas so give me a couple weeks and ill have some finished pics up!

Is there any effective way to light this ***** without fiber optics?

hey guys been in the process of working on the paint job on this bad boy. taking some time rescribing the lines but I think the work is going to pay off in the end. I think the pics show the lines darker than they are but I may mist the body to dull it a bit guess ill wait till that part is done. what do you guys think?

that is one SWEET ride! hope it gets you all the hot chicks in the galaxy!

well I think the line scribing looks fine. it does need to be dulled down a bit. but I would argue you've used too dark a line to start with. if I remember rightly, the original filming miniatures panel lines were done with pencils.

paneling was done with pensil. I came back this morning with a towel and wiped over the hull and seemed to dull it down so I may go over it once more. ill post some pics when Im done with the scribing.
