I've just bought the voodoofx lighting kit for the seaview, and was wondering if anyone had installed it and how good it looks.

I got an early version of it (only 12 lights) but I highly recommend it.

very well thought out and easy to put it together.

I've just put it together and test fitted it, and it looks great!

would this lighting kit make a bad paint job look better or worse?

Depends what you call bad?? I've found that sometimes a good scenery base or diorama helps take the eye from some bad paint jobs I've done in the past :p

On general principles, a good lighting job will not make a bad build any better. (I've done enough of both.)

I have just received my kit. It looks straightforward and somewhat easy to use. I have never lighted a model and this seems like it should be no problem to use. Now I have just got to get busy LOL.

how long does it take to get your kit after you place an order?

just ordered one from voodoofx and Im super happy with the help I got! I plan to also check out the other seaview lighting kit from JAL when they are avalible.

Is this the $79 kit or the pricier one? The last kit I lit was my Aurora Flying Sub when I was a kid!

Kinda fitting that the next would be the Seaview.

Huzz

This is the one that is less expesive but worth what you pay. The other lighting set is a lot more but you get ... well alot more! detail and PE with that setup.
Both are great! just depends on what you want to do. For me the Voodoofx is the simple way to light the kit being this will be my second kit I have placed a lighting set up in.

ok, i just got my lighting kit and i am totally intimidated!
i've never done anything like this before.
the caution list freaks me out.
i may not have the right solder tool and i dont even know what solder to use!
i dont have an electrical engineering degree!
any suggestions?

Yeah - Send it to me! :wave:

Three things to remember: 1. the kit was made for modelers with minimal competence in wiring. 2. You got questions? Ask Randy (@ VoodooFX). He will be happy to answer your questions. 3. There are almost certainly people HERE who can answer your questions.
