Can you share more details about which LEDs you used and whether you used a different way of installing them compared to Billy? |

The LEDs came from Evan Designs--great products, great price, very helpful people. I can power them off a 9-volt battery or a 12-volt converter that plugs into the wall, both external. The wires come out of the capsule through a tiny hole opposite the hatch and hidden by the stand. I didn't bother with a switch since the connection is a mini-plug from Evan Designs.

If I could ask, how did you get the metallic outer for the CM? Also, do you know where Carl Hewlett's SM is available? Regards Kevin

The LEDs really make a difference and make the while thing pop! A beautiful model.
One question: Did you have to line some of the walls with tin foil to avoid some of the light shining through the paper and the joins? Sergio |

The brighter LEDs are Evans Designs "Mega-LEDs"--5mm, flat, with a 180° beam. They come already wired with the required resistor and I ordered them with the longer (14-inch) wires. Installing them in the finished model was a challenge but it worked out well. Using a soldering gun around a paper model is a little unnerving but if you're really careful . . . !
