As to the lighting of other areas of the model, the pack I bought with the glazing paint has red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and two white (fogged) colors, so will be using these to give the shades of colored translucence where ever a light will work.
The photo of the lit nacelle dome above is not doing the right justice to the actual appearance. The glow is more diffused, and there is not such a bright core look as it seems to show there. But will mess with that when I get it all together.
Yah, I too have been very busy and not able to give this ship the attention it begs yet, beyond coating the insides of the model for light resistance from within. I tried rattle-can painting the parts but >gawd< that was an overspray nightmare! Only the top half of the saucer section came out smoothe! Rest of it got the rag-wipe treatment! eeww what a mess. Back to ground zero on paint. Am seriously weighing buying an airbrush, but don't want to cough up a lung to do it, so don't have any idea what is reasonable and good without breaking the bank.
