A couple of weeks ago, I posted theĀ detailing and painting of my Star Destroyer project. For this post, I’m going to show you how I did lit up the kit step-by-step. I also finished up all the fiber optics this week and did a light test before mounting and cementing all the panels and the wires. Maybe just a week or so and this baby will be finally done. Can’t wait!
… Let’s dive right in, shall we?

It’s been almost a year since I purchased this AMT-ERTL kit of the Star Wars Star Destroyer. I started by accurizing the kit with hundreds of styrene (credit card and other flat plastic parts) pieces. This is my second official Star Wars kit, the first one was a Fine Molds Tie Interceptor.
Now, after finishing a lot of Gundams, I’m back to the build/project. The goal is to detail the kit and ultimately to light it all up with fiber optics. So far, so good. Been wanting to try some techniques and more on this…. enjoying the entire process so far.
Let’s dive into the work in progress…

I purchased this kit last June. But due to two things 1) busy with work and 2) had to finish other kits, I shelved the project. Now that I’m done with the Sazabi (a common build project with DaemonFrost… which we haven’t uploaded any post yet) but you can find status photos in my facebook album,) methinks I know have time to blow the dust off the Star Destroyer box.

A couple of weeks ago, I snatched a rare ERTL Star Destroyer model kit at Greenhills. At a little above P2,000.00, it’s a steal.
This is going to be a long project… probably taking a couple of months to finish, mainly due to the sparse detail of the kit. I also plan to do my first lighting project for a model kit. This will be done with LEDs, fiber optic cables, normal bulbs a lots and lots of wires, switches and mini EC boards.
Meanwhile, check out the other photos of the unboxing of my Star Destroyer… coming up…
