Thanks for this!
It looks like a better alternative for lighting the Enterprise-D's nacelles than using EL sheet.

As for switches available at Radio Shack, you might want to check out this:

I've had good luck with this soldering iron:
http://www.ngineering.com/soldering.htm
Although it's only 12W, it has so far been much better than any of the irons I've bought from Radio Shack.

Dumb Question for the Day - Tamiya Clear White?
Here's a dumb question for today:
Does Tamiya make a clear/transparent white acrylic paint?
I have clear red, clear blue, and clear green, but I'd like to lighten the colors a bit.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

It depends on whether the ship is the CGI version or the physical model. On the CGI, the lights that blink appear to be the saucer-edge lights and the lights on the back of the nacelles. However, on the physical model, the only lights that blink are a light on the top of Deck 2, directly in front of...

Stupid Tenax-7R Question
I've had great success with using Tenax-7R as a welder, but recently I haven't had much luck using it as a glue. I'm trying to assemble the Star Trek 1/2500 Cadet Series kits, and putting together the secondary hull halves has been a bit of a pain. Despite brushing on Tenax onto the pieces and clamp...

Here's two suggestions: You could try the LG64-25 from fiberopticproducts.com. It contains 64 - 0.25mm fiber optic strands. This is roughly equivalent to what use to come in the AMT fiber optic Star Destroyer kit - and yes, I do plan on using this on my old Star Destroyer. On the other hand, you cou...

All of the electroluminescent tape strips that I've seen have connectors already built into them.
Does anyone know if it's possible to add your own connectors?
Any insight would be appreciated.
