Model of The Month: Mass Effect Normandy SR1 with fully functional Lights!

I decided to start building daishi Normandy SR1 with working lights to set it off. I've scaled it up to 980mm long so she will be big when finish.There's about 35 sheets of parts so i'll be very busy for a long while.

I'm starting at the front of the fuse first. I add balsa in some areas to strength it up & strips of 200g of card.

I'll be going with 5mm SMD super bright LEDs in blue for the engine & i'm thinking of adding dull white LEDs on the fuselarge of the ship but i'll see how it turns out when she is lit up.

While I'm waiting for the LEDs to arrive in the mail i'll start of at the front of the fuselarge of the Normandy.

Here are the pics what i have done.

    Very nice Anthony! I hope you post the schematics of the lighting system you use. This kind of information can be beneficial for many who can build but not design electronics.

    I'll do a schematics lighting system for others to use aswell. I will be thinking alot & doing alot bit by bit to how i'm going to set it up right so this will be a very long journey project to do.

    I done in the past designing schematics of amplifiers , making amp & building amps so i'm well knowledge about electronics. but i'm going to be use two or three adjustable voltage regulators to operate the light effect in this project & run the power sources through a transformer pack with a DC plug to connect.

    I'll get to the info later on in the post once i get every right.

    Thank guys , hopefully by tomorrow i'll have some more pics up again. but i'll hope the white LEDs arrived tomorrow before the blue LEDs does before i can proceed more on the fuselarge. If the blue LEDs arrives first i'll skip the fuse & go straight to the wings & engine.
