I've started an old (a Round 2 release from a few years back) AMT Bird of Prey, which I will be posting in the Star Trek GB. I wanted to post a WIP thread for those who may be interested, but not following the Star Trek GB. My plan is to install lighting in this puppy. I will be using a lighting circuit of my own design. This is the first kit I have attempted to light, so we'll see how this goes. There is a TON of other stuff I could do to get this thing more accurate like slant the side of the hull, install a step on the upper hull where it connects to the sides, extend the tail bla, bla, bla. Needless to say, I'm not going to go that far. It will be a pretty much OTB build. And after the Indianapolis and Musashi, I'm looking forward to something simple.
So here is the kit.
And the lighting circuit. The long multi colored wires and LED's will route to the engine nacelles. The LED's are Red, Blue and Yellow. The wires have since been lengthened to ensure they will reach the engine caps. I also have two blue LED's in the hull. I doubt this will add any effect, but I had some laying around, so what the heck. The red/black power wires will route down to the base.
I drilled holes for view ports and sensors, following some interesting drawing from the internet.
The first drawing appears to be a guide for the kit. The second drawing looks like something from a blueprint book. The engines on these drawings show to be warp engines (with impulse engines in the stern), but in the original show, the ship only had sub-light abilities.
I know I'm geeking out right now 
Sooo, then I painted the inside black. I will paint a coat of chrome on the black, hopefully this will stop any light from shining through, if not, I'll line some aluminum foil on the inside. The view ports will then be lined with wax paper for light diffusion and the sensor ports will be backed with sheet styrene to prevent light from shinning through. I also coated the engine nacelles with black and they will follow the same process.
More to follow.
