there was a guy out of portland oregon that had really cool motors and lights and electronics for sounds that would make a static model look like it was actually starting up. the motors would turn really slow and would appear to cough and spit and then rev up just like real radials. these were tied to a sound card and the affect was stunning. his company was called Dynamic Scale Modeling but unfortunately he seems to have fallen off the grid a number of years ago. not so long ago you could see many of his videos, but all that can be found now is a 1/72nd scale hercules and i believe a seahawk start up. i tried unsuccesfully to secure one of his electronics kits for a b-17 but i was too late and he had hung up his superman cape. i wish someone smarter than i would dream up that system again. i want one really bad.

At the recent IPMS Antwerp show, a new French company had a booth showing all kinds of lights and electronics for scale models. Unfortunately I don't remember their name, but you could shoot an e-mail to IPMS Antwerp to find out. Their booth was opposite the entrance of the contest room, if that helps.
