i use the chrome as well. works well for me.

I mean securing the fibres to the edge of the model, in the holes for the windows

I had one gum up on me before just using thinner, so I'm just a little paranoid now to jam this one up

Any better idea?

I was going to use cheap dollar store glue

I do the same. How ever before I pull it apart I run some paint thiner through it. And once apart I I use pipe cleaner to clean it.

Question about hot glue, is it ok to use to encase a flasher circuit? I built one not on a board and want to glue all the parts so none get bent and short the circuit

I've tried useing white glue, and I've just found it to be messy, it shrinks too much when it dries and the strands just fall out, I've heard that superglue melts the strands. So would expoy work?

Mine done, just to add plexiglass tomorrow

Have you thought of a 555 timer circuit to run with it? The light flash rate doesn't sink up with the sound anyway

Thanks guys. Kylwell, have you ordered from him online before? How long does it take to ship abouts

Has anyone ordered form here? How long does it take to arise? And are they good quality?im useing them for scratch builing

Yes I am, and from my expeence with it and from what I've sen on you tube it's easy to expats ment with. It pops back out easy if you don't like it

You can't do a big batch ten apply it. It is a pain in the ass. You need to tape the outside of the window it cover the window. Fill the hole with the powder, you will need slightly more then just flush with the plastic. Then a few drops of the liquid, just enough to melt the powder

That's what I ended up getting, very easy to work with. It's a powder and a clear liquid. Small purple container. Ask the girls there for acrylic nail filler, it was about 10-15$ for the set

I can't find anything on you tube or google, but I was thinking of taking a yard solar light apart and just pluging in the sensor between the batt and light and seeing if that would work

Lol wow, I isn't even realize I put it like that, on at night and off in the day lol

So my plan is to set up one of the smaller models on a wall mount, but want to make it like a night light, so it's on in the day but off at night, is there a simple way to do it or does it require some kind of micro control

Just as it says, how do I make an led flicker, I baught an LED tea candel. But the chip is built into the LED. Any ideas?

Actually i was very impressed with it.

The windows on the right are not filled, and the ones on the left are

I will add some Picts of lit, once I work the lights in

I ended up getting a two part acrylic (the same stuff nail salons use)

1- tape out side of window

2- pour in some of the powder

3- just a few drops usually only needed 2, then wait 2 min for it to dry.

Be very careful with the second part and use only well ventalated area

so i baught my leds ina na led pack from modelers brand. and now i am lookign to replenish some of my stock. what should i take into concideration when ordering? how will i know how bright it will be? how do i know what size i should get and if its defused how do i know if its going ot be bright on ...

I'm fine with it just turning off, and I wanted to avoid pic controllers. Only because I'm not that skilled yet

is it safe to paint a reistor? I forgot to light block my voyager deflector and have allready stuck my light a resistor to it.

It does rub off, as for masking I'll let ya know

Well to get in detail, I paired the cockpit before I installed it, that was done by hand, and I taped the windscreen and painted the overall colour.

The last two vipers I did, I paired ten both as a whole

intresting though, when in parallel it come to life like normal but fades out slow when hooked up to a 5 volt wall wart
