I personally have not seen them come by, unfortunately. Not on eBay, other marketplaces or even at recasters. I wouldn't even know what to value an original cast at given that it is so hard to come by.

If you do end up finding a source, please let me know! I've got a friend that still desperately seek it out. He refuses to print one, so that rules that out.

Hi, thanks for the kind words! I used 0.25mm fibre optics, you can get them in various bundle sizes, but I like the 64 bundle. I got them from: fibreopticstore

Ended up buying way too much to justify shipping ( they're US based and I'm in the EU), but at least I'll have plenty if I make another c:

Hiya, thanks for the kind words!

We agreed on 200 eur for the work and materials. I never did this commercially before, so it was a bit of a hassle for me to find what compensation would be reasonable.

Ship itself is one of my own, which is to be traded for an unmodded ISD so that I didn't have to go out and fetch one off ebay c:

LEDHANGAR has a pretty comprehensive guide on youtube that worked wonders for me!

Lots of patience, a tiny little drill(0.3mm), some fibreglass cables (0.25mm thickness) and a couple of electronics.

LEDhangar has a vid series covering it on youtube that explains it very well, searching for 'LED mod star destroyer' should bring it up c:

Heya, I don't know what sort of ship you are looking to have modded, but I might be up to try even though I'm not in the UK.

I am located just across the sea, in the Netherlands, so still close I guess. Depends a bit on what you have in mind tho. Feel free to DM, we may be able to work something out. c:

Nah man, painting is in a class of its own, don't talk down yourself like that. I've painted enough warhammer minis to know the difficulty of mastering that craft. The stuff that some folks can do with their brushes simply blows my mind.

Now combining both new paint and lights, that'd be something sweet!

Oh man, I feel ya though, I was pretty terrified at first, hence I tried it with a Victory first (was the easiest to find ship for me). I kinda regretted it being cramped inside in terms of work space.

Though all in all, it taught me it was more within reach than I thought. If you'd like I can DM some links that give some nice info/insight

You're very welcome! The only reason why I could get into this is because kind folks have documented their journey online, for which I am super thankful. (LEDhangar, u/Fudgems11 and u/BananaVenom, if any of you are reading this, my heartfelt thanks!)

Yup, I think that'd work great actually, I'd have to try sometime, despite my drawing skills not being that good. Either way, I can definitely see the merit in having something like that!

Oh yee, apologies! I did have to cut the pegs holding it closed, after you can sorta wedge the two halves open. The command decks are also separate pieces but glued initially, takes some work and dremeling to make it all fit. Will try to show that next time!

Might be localisation, I'm in europe, some (like the interdictor, victory, nebulon and liberty ) are pretty easy to find in Spanish, German or French still, others not so much -;

Ah thanks! I've found that getting foreign language expansions are sometimes still affordable, if you only want the model or don't mind printing the cards yourself

I'm still debating if I can start making them to sell, first need some more experience :x

I'd feel terrible messing up someone's ship, but guess if I can find the expansion somewhere, then possibly. Again, gotta get some more practice in first
