Mister Squid: Looking forward to seeing how she comes out- really cool idea!

The LED lighting looks great I can't wait to see what it looks like when you're finished.  I've always been a big fan of the ships of BSG the viper being one of the coolest in science fiction. thanks for posting these pictures keep us up  to date on the project.

BSYAMATO: Thanks. The hot and humid weather has kept me from spraying for a week now since I absolutely hate what can happen under those circumstances. But it's cooling down a little and maybe I'll get the color coats on it soon.

Meanwhile I worked up a stand for it since it will be a display of a Viper with a Raider on it's tail. That required something longer than usual and I went with a simple "long box" of 60thou styrene with a PlexiGlas top and beveled edges. The shiny 'Glas top contrasts nicely with the overall semi-gloss box. Switches/controls will be sunk in the rear. But here's an idea of it after the painting-

really great works on lights !!! wishing to see finished

Thanks guys!

Gerry- Google DIY Electronics Projects. Tackle a couple of "easy" ones targeted to beginners or if you are beyond that then of course choose anything that strikes your fancy. With a few 'basics' under your belt you'll soon recognize that most all electronics are composed of a series of 'stepping stones' which build upon each other and accumulated experience will make it all easier. Really, as long as you can solder and read a schematic anything you can find online can be duplicated. Oh, and tutorials on soldering and reading schematics are there too.

Oh, and you can hate me but please don't cut me off in traffic again?

I am really starting to resent you guys that make lighting look so easy.

My attempts have left me in a big pile of failure... but I'll try not to hate your success.
