                        How are you setting up the rest of your lighting system? Are you doing wall plug or batteries?

                        That I will do as I will most likely require a lot of help with the engineering part of it. Now I just need to decide whether to do the acclamator or the venator first.

                        Robison,
                        Thanks for letting me know. With all the different sizes I wasn't sure what would look right.

                        I would use .25mm or .5mm fiber optic. I used .75 on my 1/2256 Star Destroyer and thought it was a bit to big.

                        Fiber optics question
                        Posted by NucMedTech on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 9:19 PM
                        Hi guys,
                        I'm thinking of diving into a lighting project and was wondering what diameter of fiber optic would be best? I was going to try it out on either my Venator or Acclamator first. They are both 1/2256 scale. I'm sure multiple diameters should be used, just trying to get a starting point. Thanks for any help.
