| Tip: | One thing that I really hated about the newer AMT/ERTL U.S.S. Enterprise (TOS) kits was when they stopped making the "caps" on the front on the warp engine nacelles in clear polystyrene. I found that if you carefully cut away the tips of the nacelles where you want your lighting shine through, you could then replace the cut away section with the bottom part of ordinary glass test tubes. You can then paint the insides of your new warp nacelle tips a nice red color that won't scratch from the outside and shows the light very nicely. | ||
