I am attempting to build a 1/144 scale Space shuttle lifting off the pad. I want to simulate the yellow white exhaust plume from the boosters. Any ideas on how many and how large the LED's would have to be? I want the look to be as bright as possible but I am not sure how to get the best look. I have seen other builders do this with their static rocket diorama's but they don't explain how they did it.
If i need to simulate fire, I go to this site.

I got this result with one.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Bjorn Jacobsen is on MIG facebook frequently and posts fantastic explosions etc. He has authored a few books. I just discovered his work in the past couple months and it's the best I have seen.
Google "bjørn jacobsen models" images.

Steve,
How many, what color, and what size LED's did you use? This is what i am looking for. I am guessing that you use a white LED and colored the foil yellow & orange? This is the look that I am looking for.
Hi Karl,
I used 2 of these. I said I used 1, but looking back I used 2.

Unfortunatly I don't have pictures of the process but I used cotton and sprayed yellow, orange and black. I inserted the leds into the cotton and hooked them up to the batteries. I didn't use a circuit, just a switch mounted to the base. I did have to experement with the colors to get the right effect but being my first time, I was pleased with the results.
It looks fantastic. Thanks for your help.
