Smoo's 1:112 Revell X-Wing Fighter with led lighting

[TheSmoo]

Just managed to finish this by the skin of my teeth, it was an easy kit but a bit of a nightmare to shoeshorn led's into it due to the small size of the model.

the full build thread can be viewed here - viewtopic.php?f=607&t=22502&p=280427#p280427

so here are a few pictures, to view full size right click the picture and select open in new tab -











I also did a reveal video which shows off the led lighting in all it's glory, it is only 9 minutes and 14 seconds long

good luck everyone

Absolutely stunning work mate - and well done for finishing on time too

The detail on that would look great on a 1/48 scale kit; the fact that you've crammed it all in with lighting on something the size of a gnat's nadger is just phenomenal

cheers Neil, it was just a cheap £6 kit from hobbycraft, if I mucked it up it didnt really matter just fancied the challenge and learned a lot from it, now a 1/48 scale kit (not that i could ever afford one) opens itself up to fibre optics and all sorts of cockpit detail, maybe one day

Great work on an icon

Absolutely great
You gotta bump up a few scales or you are going to fry your brain cramming all that wire in such small spaces

my brain was fried a long time ago haha hard to bump up the scales on a limited budget and need to sort some shelves r something and thanks for the kind comments

It came out just amazing and on time too! Very nice build!

[Lysus]

Lighting something so small, that's brave, sir. And it turned out really great!

[Lysus]

Congratulations on finishing!



Sorry I'm way late on this, but we're done! Yay!

I'll be contacting the judges shortly and let them get to work on all the very fine submissions this year. I hope you enjoyed yourself and look forward to seeing you again next summer!

Again, I'm sorry for the delay and if you need some explanation, you can find it here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=23701
