                        Whoa! That is definately one of the most impressive led lit models that I've seen!

                        Your build and weathering are also superb! Thanks for sharing this one with us.Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Even unlit, that would be a gorgeous model! The photos of your build are a real treat and a great service to fellow modlers.

                        I think a fiber optic tutorial thread would be welcome.  I know I'd love it, cause this would be really fun to try.

                        I second SG's motion, a tut would be great. I'm especially curious to know how you painted it w/out damaging the fiber optics.

                        Well done.
