Hello,
Are there any light kits available for only strobe and nav lights for the 1/350 nx-01?

What is best way to secure led strips to inside of model?

What is best color to paint inside model to prevent light showing thru

Hi,
Are the nx-01 bussard lighting red or orange? Box art shows orange looking, as well as some Enterprise episodes[/code]

Is there a preference as to 9 or 12 volts for lighting models
Thanks

Hello
What is best when using led strips for starship window lighting...cool or warm white led strips?
Thanks

I would mount the support rods for the ship to a turntable made from wood or plastic, and rotate the model on the turntable. Gear the turntable to the motor directly or thru a belt mechanism, then make electrical connections thru a brush system connected to the brass support rod below the turntable.

I placed an order from them about a month and a half ago or so. Had no problems.

Hello,
Would anyone know where I could purchase clear sheet for vacuum forming. Thanks in advace for any help.

Greetings,
I use Testors clear parts cement and window maker. Works great. I have attached a link for it. I get it a Tower Hobbies, but I'm sure a hobby store would have it. Good Luck

starmanmm.... I use GE Silicon II, clear, Household Glue, 2.8 oz. You can find it at Home Depot or Ace Hardware etc. It says Silicon, but it's still RTV. It's in a gold and white tube. I added the link below so you see what the tube looks like. Good luck. http://paint-and-supplies.hardwarestore.com/...

Hello, I have used these color fiberoptic cables I found on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/300ft-of-COLORED-FIBER-OPTIC-MODEL-RAILROAD-LIGHTING_W0QQitemZ370100795162QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item370100795162&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1423%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 I've also used...

Greetings, Looking for the style of rocker switches used on Star Trek TOS. They are different colors with a ripple type surface. For example..they were on Sulu's control panel. They probably don't make them any longer, but was wondering if someone knew of a surplus outlet that may carry them. Thanks...

Thanks to all for your help. I wanted to use white LEDs. jwrjr, could a 12F683 PIC be used?

Thanks to all for your help. I wanted to use all white LEDs.

I am looking for a timer circuit diagram that would light up 10 leds in a random manner, and the time delay interval could be adjusted....say from 1 to 15 minutes or so. For example, once power is applied, 4 leds would turn on, then a few minutes later a number of other leds would turn on while othe...

Get a 5mm or 10mm white clear LED if that is about the size helmet you need, and carefully remove the leads and internal parts. They somewhat look like old sci fi space helmets.

I apologize if this post is a duplicate, my search did not yeild any help. My question is.....what is a good pic programmer to get. I know nothing about pic programming. and wanted to ask before making a purchase. I would like to control strobes and flashers, etc....
Thanks,

I found this bit of info on the NGineering site about working with the small leds.

Hello,
Does the forward deflector on the NX-01 light up only blue.......i.e. does it change colors as the 1701 and/or 1701A, depending if at impulse or warp drive......or does it remain blue regardless of impulse or warp?
Thanks for any assistance. Have a good weekend.

Is there a good how to book on learning how to program PIC chips to use for NAV and strobe lights? Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks Don...
