Corona Self-Isolation made me build a STAR DESTROYER
First Engine Test
While I’m getting closer to finishing the lower half of the hull, I’ve also created three light diffusors for the main engines: I cut out three appropriately-sized disks from a transparent blue BluRay-case and filed the surface to a fine rough finish with my electrical micro-rotating tool. I also applied matt varnish for good measure, and then carefully glued them 1cm deep into ridged engine-tunnels at the center inside each of the three huge engine bells. Each engine will be lit by three LEDs arranged in a triangle on a disk-shaped board which will be set behind and right up to each light diffusor. I test-fitted them and powered them up to see if everything works okay, which it gladly does:
This is amazing
