Oh I know, Im waiting on them to come! I happened to have that cool white LED and I use it to test the progress as I go. Also waiting on some blue and red ones.

Nice.
Nobody listens to me, but it will look more accurate if you use a warm white LED.
I've been wondering myself what is the most screen accurate colors cool white or warm.

Look at the movies and pictures and judge for yourself but warm has a yellow hue where cool has a blue one.
I agree, the interior lights almost always appear warm yellow and some red at times. The engines however have been all over the place. Sometimes they look yellow and sometimes the are more blue. Not sure why the difference unless it's just a film to photo anomaly or different between original release and updated special releases. But they are different.

Im doing the engines blue and the rest of lights warm with occasional red points of light.

I am definitively going warm! In color that is. I had a white warm led from a previous project and did a quick test on the work Ive done on the bridge. I lit up only half of the fibers but, man I do love how it looks. Its very close to the original look in Episode 4.

Im running through drill bits too fast...LOL! I just ordered a few (a LOT!). Using #73 bits which provide an adequate tight but also comfortable hold on the 0.5mm fibers.

Not sure if you guys saw this already but it looks like revell showed their repack at a convention. I think this is the first look since we found out they would be selling it.

I see their AT-AT comes with a scale Rebel speeder. 1:53 scale? New tool?

Mine arrived at ICS/NYC on the 23rd (after exactly one month after it left Moscow), then was transferred to another facility in Nassau, NY arriving on the 25th at 9:18am. It then shipped out of there "en route to destination" 22 minutes later. I had hoped it would get here today as it's a four hour trip from Long Island to Massachusetts, but t still shows "enroute to destination" as of 9:18am today. Maybe Friday. That would be a nice way to end the week!

Yeah I saw that too and wondered the same. I knew they had an at at coming out again but I figured it was a reissue of their old one. Not sure now (I never had the old one so its hard to tell from pics if this is a new model.)

Maybe that's because if they don't own the molds, they can't guarantee continuous production. It would make sense to sign some time-bound deal with Zvezda.
Or maybe it's just to drive up initial sales... </cynic>

Ive been using ones I got some time ago, supposedly they are carbide bit but they are very thin. In the neighborhood of 0.6mm. One way or the other the damn holes will be made....my Lord Vader needs his ship!
I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I think the model is their snap together. They did have a nice placard there for the Zvezda kit.
