mriccio Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 To go alongside my recently finished Raider, I finished the Viper. Very nice kit, went together with no problems, and was lots of fun to paint and light up... Hope you enjoy it. Happy New Year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LA2019 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Beautiful build! The lighting looks great. Bet that took some time?..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezones Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 That's fraking insane. Great lighting and the weathering looks dirty. Great Job!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightymax Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 As a fan of the origianl BSG and the Viper kit since day one. You built an awesome model. Care to share lighting techniques? Cheers Max Bryant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple nickel Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Wowiiiiiiiii great model!!! Like the weathering and the lights! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I love the build and I have been toying with lighting up some models - where did you get the boxes? I assume the box bases contain the batteries and switch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mriccio Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the comments... I only just started playing around with electronics, and this is my second lit model. Very basic stuff I found surfing around the internet, great stuff on YouTube. A few LED's, some fiber optic cable, and a bit of patience. It is very rewarding for sure. CorsairMan, the boxes are half's of a cigar box, and inside I have a 9V battery, and simple switch on the back of the box, as in the attached image of my raider.

GreyGhost Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow, Fantastic Viper ! Love how you did the lighting system ... The BSG OS Viper and the X-Wing are my two favorite Sci Fi Fighters ... Again, you did a Marvelous Job ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Those are fantastic! I especially love the back view of the Cylon Raider with those lit up exhausts. I've got the TOS Viper but unfortunately, it's the earlier version with the plastic canopy ( ie the non-clear type) and doesn't include a pilot. Maybe someday, I'll get around to finishing it...
