Love the bridge consoles with the LEDs. A very nice little touch indeed. Very well done.

HI Andrew yes the bridge consoles hopefully with the leds in an goin should make the bridges but i dont want to go into over kill an if them lights flash to bright in the bridge then i'll darken them down with some clear smoked liquid

Excellent Chris, going the extra with the consoles and lighting will set it off a treat.
YES Mark i certainly hope so but the trick is gettin all the glass in an them bridges an fitting in the consoles an makin the bridges still be able to lift off so i can fit in the crew figures boy will i be glad if this all works out ok

this is an epic build hear,very nice work with the lleads and detailing ;) ;)
AN HI Moni yes it is turning into a bit of an epic is'nt it what with the leds now bein fitted in but a lot more still to be fitted an im worryied about fitting this bridge glass in as when gluein it i will have only one try to get it right an if i get it wrong it will be a disarter as the bridge area is on a ship the most looked at area ive found when its bein veiwed by the general public in shows so finger crossed an i will have to have a few practice trys on fitting this glass in
ATB to you an thanks for lookin in on the build Moni as im pleased you are intrested in it
