U.N.C.F. Dreadnoughts

Honestly, this kinda fell together all by itself as I was sorting new additions to the stash. Press-fit just to test the assembly. 

A pair of 0805 LEDs go in the forward weapon 

3mm LED inserted in the engine 

5050 LED with fibre optics are wired up to the portholes in the main superstructure. 

A pair of yellow 0805 LEDs go in the forward weapon of the other Dreadnought 

Attaching some 0.9mm copper wire with epoxy for posing the ships 

Primed with Mr Hobby Aqueous Black Surfacer 1000 

Quick test that all the circuits are intact after first painting pass 

Fitted on a small box as a stand 

Electronics and USB micro-connector installed in the box. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matchstick for scale only! Some micro-surgery to add lighting and fibre optics, posed in an attack that is not exactly going to plan..
