@@dansmodeluniverse you mentioned the lack of space inside the model, but it did come with semi transparent hull to aid in emitting internal light. Seems like a contradiction! Could you use a larger board to control the light sequences and strobes, or is there just not enough room? Maybe there's room inside/beneath the stand?

Genuinely a piece of art. You should be proud! If its not too much trouble to ask, where do you buy your equipment, paints, etc? I tried building this myself, but I had to move mid-build and it was ruined as a result. I figure if I attempt to make it again, Id wanna do it right.

Thanks, appreciate it. I'm from Dublin, Ireland so all my paints etc. come from my local hobby shop in Dublin City Centre, Marks Models. The lighting kit, for this model, I got from a fantastic online supplier in the UK, Star Trek Lighting, but unfortunately due to ongoing brexit nonsense, I can no longer get electronics from him. I now go with a new(ish) Irish supplier, Stargazer Models.

I can't find a good reference point to paint my model to closely match the model used in the show. Also, for the LED lights, did you use those, off the shelf light strips that can be found at Walmart or was it a complete custom kit found online?

Your work is incredible! I just got the translucent model and I would also love to see your schematics if you would be willing to share. I'm a beginner, but I've just done some basics with soldering LEDs, Led strips, and PCB boards with a bit of programing, but I would love to see exactly how you wired the board.

2 questions, The fiber optic cable used the LED lights as their source? the card you used to flash the Nav lights did you build that or purchase it., Ok, one more question. every body drills a round hole instead of using the stand slot in the hull, is this just because its more convenient for the rod and the wires or could you widen the slot and use that also.

The lighting kit, including the board, was from a UK supplier, Star Trek Lighting, great prices, great service. I use metal straws, sawn in half, which have a slightly bigger circumference than the rods supplied, so I widen the existing slot.
