                        A big thankyou to you SkippeR, your build has given me the inspiration to get back to my own one of these.

                        Very, very nice!

                        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.

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

                        If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.

                        Holy Smoke! That has to be the coolest thing I've ever seen!

                        How long did that take to build?

                        My favorite shot is that that one from behind in the dark, that's amazing! How long did the whole thing take?

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