Tomartista Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Are you going to make some kind of LED lighting system? The reflector looks much better. And above it is some sort of optical fiber? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Major Walt Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I know it's been a long time since the last post on this thread, but I wanted to put my 2cents worth in. I'm a scratchbuilder myself, and can understand the frustrations that go with it. I suffer from severe depression most of the time and can sympathize with you when ailments slow things down and make life less than bearable. I also know that we can be our own worst critics. Let me tell you that I find your work amazing and inspirational. I say this from the heart. Your work is superb! Please continue with the project. Walt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
