Hi all... after gathering some knowlegde about lighting in the "Imperial Knight" project, a new LED powered project will follow. Again I cant pomise how it will work out, because Im new to this kind of modelling, but Ill give my best. This time it wont be a cockpit illumination, but a supermassive explosion on the "Bumble Bee". The Bumble Bee space ship itself will be a kitbash of several U-Boats and the HMS King George V plus PE parts and all that funny stuff that makes a space battl ship more dangerous. I named it "bumble bee" because of its basic design - thick, a bit slow... but dangerous! Flying around the ship there will be some tiny interceptors. I found out that BAE Harrier wings from Trumpeter (1/350 scale) fit perfectly for this issue. And they cost 5 bucks only (12 pc). Enough to create a battle scene. Only a picture to show the basic idea. There will be loads of changes.

Id call it "recycling". A mini Millenium Falcon and a X-Wing spent their parts for the colony...

I will be following this one closely....anything with leds interests me! I have a few shadowbox ideas that will require led lighting, I could use some extra insight!

Certainly is a small colony! Maybe you should go for a laser beam instead of LEDs?! Hehehehe (love the banner mate!)

A year? OK I hope they will allow me to bring few model kits to keep myself occupied.
