Absolutely phenomenal!!! I wish I had a better vocabulary because there has to be more expensive words to describe how impressive that is! thumbsup

Gorgeous work. Really epic. So, here’s what might be a dumb question, but having no experience with fiber optics myself, what is the difference between using one strand for every individual window and just sticking some bulbs inside the body of the model and letting that light naturally shine out the holes in the hull?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe fiber optics will give more precise and consistency in the light points, whereas if you drill holes and run a strip of LEDs inside you will likely run into the intensity of light dropping off for certain windows, as well as seeing light drop off as you move away from head on viewing.

Since the end of the fibers will be either flush with the surface or extend fractionally beyond it, all those points will show uniform illumination from a wider viewing angle.

I have to ask and apologies if I’m mistaken but , didn’t you build / assemble the majority of the kit prior to priming and painting it ?
That being the case , how did you manage to ‘ mask off ‘ the scratched (?) , smaller interior bays - within the main hanger bay in this picture !? :eek

Hej Ged,

the upper and lower hull are not assembled yet. The main Hangar got his paint allready the rest will follow soon so there is no need to mask anything at the moment. Also it is no problem to avoid parts when airbrushing Hope I got you question and could answer well

cheers,

Dirk

Looking at your beautifully crisp updates , is like watching an exquisite meal being prepared before your eyes ... you can’t stop your mouth salivating and you just can’t wait to see it finally finished and ready to consume !:lol ..., but of course , like all good things - the wait is usually worth it !

Absolutely gorgeous work here! Loving the pop of detail and the intermix of the colored lights. And this is just the start...

Some more impressions. Will take better pictures soon. At the moment it's just my iPhone and with low light it's not the best.

cheers,

I hope I don't bother you with all these images First testshots with my Canon. I'm pretty satisfied with the lights, colors and the positions.

cheers,

The only thing that bothers me is that I don't own, nor can I say I built this model

Somebody give Omnius a shake "bother" ? Are you serious? We sometimes wait for weeks on end to see pics of this unbelievable work of yours. Bother...huh
