    Looks good. I really enjoy lighting the cockpits of spacecraft. Really make the pilots stand out.

    That's great, the copper tube also acts as a heat sink.

    I built one of these up in a similar fashion a few years ago, only to discover at the last gasp that fibre optic cable doesn't like CA glue...it immediately caused the fibre optic to turn brittle and break. I salvaged about 50% of several hours work, and what remains still looks good...but what could have been had I used PVC or zap-a-gap? I'll never know :/

    enough as it is..

    Hi.
    Very interesting effect!
    I do recall a chin light inside the pilots helmet, be cool to use this method to achieve this

    What sized drill bit do you use and how do you get a straight hole I’ve been having trouble with trying to drill small holes for lights to fit

    I am just starting the Revell Star Destroyer and want to light up the project. Of all the video and instructions available this is the neatest installation I have seen. Only one question and that is from where did you source the fiber optic cable?

    This is awesome. What sort of glue is white glue as I was just about to use super glue until I saw your video. Thanks so much for the heads up 👍👍

      Hi there. I was using "Canopy Glue" Its for gluing transparent plastic. It won't eat into the clear plastic or fibre optics, like Polystyrene cement does.

    Where did you get the decals for the cockpit? Like the monitor.

      you mean the wires you see through the glass?

      Hi, originally you could just see the Fibre Optic cables. I normally use the kit's decals, but occasionally I make my own. I've used screen shots from films, reduced them down to the correct size, then pinned them on normal white paper, then sandwiched the print between to thin sheets of plastic. Plastic from food packaging or thin transparencies, that sort of thing.

    What kind of paint did you use to paint tbe ends of tbe fiber optic. I didnt know this could be done. I have always seen different color LEDs used.

  • @bradenbenson3658
    @bradenbenson3658 7 лет назад

    hey, might be a dumb question but what is that device that you use to send power to the LEDs?

      Its a variable DC power supply. It allows you to output specific smooth voltages for developing electronics.

    I know its a year ago, but what size fiber optic cable is that?

    • @lawrenade
      @lawrenade 3 года назад

      I think he said it was 0.75 width

    you know what would have been a flickering led it would have made the panel light up with moving lights
