LET THERE BE LIGHT

I've done some LED lighting before but never experimented with fibre optic. So this time I've decided to fully light the cockpit and backlight the various dials.

And then threading the optics




This, it turns out, is immensely time consuming and boring work. So while waiting for glue to dry I painted the viper pilot ( those of you who've seen the show will understand what a sod the iridescent green fligh suit was to get right:
