SS Tie Bomber Kit

[daverep]

Worked on this a bit today after I snuck out of work early this afternoon.
Did a bit of accurizing to some pieces.

Not really happy with what I did on the above pic. It doesn't match the other "heat sink" piece (can't remember the original donor part). It'll work I guess, but I may try to fix it up before I prime.





I figured that this would be a good time to work on wiring the model up, so I drilled some holes in the wing struts and also the engine holes of the Saturn V pieces.


I decided to do 5 lights total. One for underneath the cockpit and 4 for the engines. Instead of putting the LEDs on the outside of the engines, I decided to go for an "engine glow" look, so I mounted them inside.


Temporarily hooked up the wiring and was surprised that I actually hooked everything up right the first time!


And with the house lights off but letting some daylight in so you can still see the model.


Tomorrow I'll put the fronts back on the fuselage pieces and then prime.

Thanks for looking! --Dave
