Oh my that's what i was aiming for. Thank you dnalor for that site & for the reference on the engine glow.:thumb: I'll do another one with the hot glue gun method & compare it to my version engine glow to which looks better. I might even do with out the reflectors beams they are a pain to work...

Wow that R2D2 is totally alive. great job:thumb: with the fibre optic i wish i can proceed to the next level with lighting. i'll mess the lighting setting up with that fibre.

Thanks john , if i don't come up with any other way in designing another one differently then i'll stick with that one & i'll make sure that all of those reflector are dead straight when i make all the sets of the engine. I'll see what i can do with the schematics , i might use either Eagle...

The strips of LEDs i can only cut to a length of 50mm which only comes out with 3 LEDs with one 150ohm resistor on it. on each strip has the negative & positive on both ends , i had to joint another strip of LEDs above to give a total of 6 LEDs. but that all i can fit in there , it's a tight...

& more pics of engine glow More pics.

Only a test out design engine glow. Ok i been working on designing a mesh for the engine glow to work, since from yesterday but this is what i can came up with. but nothing else i can think in my mind to design a different one it's a blank right now. I need some opinion if this looks ok or it...

Thanks lehcyfer for the info:thumb: , i have used 1.5mm card board for the engine mounts top , bottom surface & 0.8mm card stock on the Wing mounts top , bottom surface & with a V shape beam across for less twiss to the wing mounts. Sorry i forget to add the details of the materials that i'm...

Finish build the lower wing mounts Here are the two complete build of the left & right lower wing mounts. i have done some balsa V shape re-enforcement to them inside the wing mounts for the size & the stress that they going to hold the wing into place with all those lights to the engine. I...

Blue LEDs arrived & building top inner engine mounts Well it was a shame that the white LEDs did not arrived first & it delays the fuselarge a bit longer but at least one of the LEDs arrived here safely & undamaged. The blue LEDs that's right the BLUE arrived( as in The Blues Brothers ):grin...

Wow she is looking great.

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.

Thanks jackrum for watching to see how i progress with it:thumb:.

Hi ya lehcyfer , this will be my first big glowing light effect on a ship very exciting.:mrgreen:

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...

Thanks mate , It's was my last resort to build my models where my computer is , my hobby room area is chock a block full of R/C planes , 1/5 scale buggy , heli & other. I'm am also using a dinning table to build a 63' Spitfire :eek:.

Wow thanks john:wave: , i did not even know that he was a SPAMMER. I'm glad you see it & i didn't.

Thanks for posting & your kind words.:thumb: , i done it so that people would see as how it would come together as part by part like a instruction manual but after seeing how much time an effort of taking pics for every part would take too long off this build & to much time & posting it here...

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.:mrgreen: I'm starting at the front of the fuse first. I add balsa in some...
