    This is a wild guess, but I'd try to make the thing out of clear plastic, paint some areas and put an LED right in the rear stub.

    Ah, I wasn't referring to the exposed wires, but to the primer. It seriously looks good as a weathering effect.

    There's a single 2mm lighthouse LED mounted in the center of the clear frosted dish. A length of fiber optic extends that light to the tip of the spire.

    This is gorgeous. I love the styling on your secondary hull and the addition of the docking ports.

    Awesome. :)

    You know, every time I see a Charger driving around town, I think of this ship!

    Well, it was a good thing, there are a lot of them around here, and I really like the Hood :D

    Looking forward to more.

    Your Hood-class design would've made a better TMP refit than TMP gave us.
