I started this 3yrs ago next month and last worked on it 10 months ago. At the time, I was scrounging 'angel hair' fiber optics from toys to light the interior of this model. The stuff is ultra thin and a total pain to deal with. Thus, the kit has stayed shelved for long periods of time.
A few weeks ago, I stocked up on proper FO of various diameters. The other night, I threw an hour at this and made significant progress. The white glue is curing now and over the weekend, I will be throwing leds on the fibers that I've got. Once I see where it's at, there will be another round of (fiber/led checks) until complete.
Interior will be Ep IV; exterior will be Ep V (or at least as close as I can fake them both, in spirit). Leds, ccfls, el sheet and possibly el wire will be used in this build. I wanted to use cmos, but that has been difficult to learn, so will hold off on that for now. Instead, I will use some flasher leds to simulate proper cmos effects.
There is a first video in this series done last year, but it is very dry with no bg music, so I won't be posting it.
