John Laidlaw Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 That is excellent, and in addition, the lighting inside the pod bay is perfect. A beautiful piece of work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A beautiful piece of work! Plenty of room in this kit for lighting. The engine section is ideal for a battery as the top can snap into place to allow access. I went with an external power adapter primarily because I wanted a remote control which will slowly drain a battery even when switched off. Difficult to see the cockpit, but the pod bay is easily viewed, especially with two of the doors open. Thanks, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamiltonian Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Great work, beautiful result. I have one of these in the stash, along with the same detailing and lighting kits. I'm gradually gathering the courage to make a start. I had also planned on the not-in-the-film option of opening a second pod bay door to allow the interior to be inspected without a pod in the way, so it's good to see how well it works in practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Most of this kit comes together very well, just a few small problems. Lighting not too difficult, I ended up using a total of 24 LED's. Unfortunately, much of the effort on detailing the cockpit can't really be seen. Coming up with sturdy display stands and a proper base was one of the bigger challenges. Good luck with your build, please share photos! Regards, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall it is a very good kit and a pleasure to build. Endless opportunities for super detailing. Regards, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
