All assembled. The LEDs were not pressed to the base since I am not going to use these on the final product

The upper section is where I can cut the board up so I can rewire it to add lights to the engine area.

  Hey it looks like the lights are going to work out which will look very neat. On another note I have misplaced some stuff that I had worked on earlier. I can not find the skylight windows and the solar panels I worked on before. I will have to look for them and make sure they are put in one central location where everything from the model is.

Now something happened last week that really pissed me off involving some Browncoats. Their attitude was in my opinion completely unacceptable and made me very angry. Angry enough that I am considering leaving the fandom. I am not saying all Browncoats are bad but that this attitude makes me think “I don’t need this grief”

I have enough in my life going on that losing this fandom will be very simple and may even make life a lot easier for me.
