I've resumed building the Moebius Models TOS Battlestar Galactica kit and this video shows the work I've done to light the landing bays of the model.

Those landing lights are seriously cool. Nice flashback to my childhood.

Sept. 17 2021 was the 43 anniversary of BSG. I watched the three hour premier in its honor. Love that Battlestar design.

I love the TOS Battlestar Galactica. Such a tough looking design, and the size and scale made perfect sense, and was easily relatable because it had those wonderful landing bay pods.

I like both the original and the updated versions. I do like the ships from the original a bit more though.

Thanks Kenny, I was just glad it can be seen looking in that small opening. Would of been a lot of work for nothing lol.

Excellent job on the landing bay lighting! I've always wanted to do something like that. I ended up just settling on putting white strips on each side to simulate the lights and made them go off in the distance using forced perspective to make it look deeper than it actually is. It's a fun part of that model to modify!

As always what an amazing job When I lit up my landing bays I photo copied the background effect onto matt photo paper and lit it from behind the effect was really great due to the photo paper being almost see through, just a thought for anyone who wants to try it its an amazing way to cheat an effect Cheers from oz

I just got my aztec decal set for the reimagined 4105 scale Battlestar Galactica and getting ready to use it. you said something about getting back to this model after some time, and I know what that's like!

Chaser looks awesome and you could see just a little of the back panel detail. The red was washing out the camera.

Yes it is the camera, in person the detail of the wall is clearly visible.

Boyd for the Commlock lock I was trying to think of a way to incorporate an LCD screen kitbashed from a TinyTV LCD. They sell them at Walmart for like $25-$30 and play clips from shows like Batman. If there was a way to get the screen into the kit and possibly program the chipset to play a clip from Space 1999 that would be amazing.

There are lot's of miniature LCD screens available on the internet that can be setup to play MP4 video files. Just a matter of finding one that's the proper size. I'm sure someone will do just that. For mine, I just plan on a back lighted picture and some sound fx.

Yeah I'm really liking those chaser lights. Is that sequencer board from a particular model on their website, or just something you specially ordered from Ralph there?

Very nice. I've been slowly working on this kit myself. I've come up with a chase light sequence with using timer chips. What did you use for the lights? SMDs?

Stupide question maybe, but, where did you find your PCB ? Did you make it by yourself or you buy it some where ?
