oh, that's just to get the idea, first I have to think about how I want to draw the model. I noticed the ''shark teeth'' on the hood sides, and also that the legs are more like bones that sectioned tentacles. it takes a lot of time to notice so many details. you can post the pics here if you want, if not send them to [email protected]
thanks

I have send you the pictures,
There are quite a few pictures and posting them here would maybe clutter the thread to much.

I hope they are of some use to you.

Cheers,
Elko

I was fooling around again, thanks to the model designers on these!!! I push molded the phaser 2 nozzle with a pen tip, and used a aquamarine push pin for the light filter on the romulan nacelle.

That looks great... LOVE IT!!!

How'd you do the push pin again?? Steps please?? Been looking for something like this for my Cylon Raider and Colonial Viper...

I bought them at staples, clipped off most of the metal pin, used a colored bead, glues and ran the pin inside the thread hole, and then back lit with a white led or colored for what you probably want. basic beads come in basic colors, at staples the push pins come in aquamarine, pink and amber. led=> pin[=l-- beadO =>[=lO

then wrap in black paper or aluminum foil don't let it ground out the led if you use foil, shrink tube might be best

GREAT job!!! Also good modelling!!! At first I didn't understand how you were preventing "light seepage" from the paper....Now I see you use an old plastic model trick of lining the inside of the model with relective material or aluminum sheeting in this case!!!!
