I enjoyed doing up this head display especially the LEDs installation and scratching my head on how to route the wires and a switch to on/off them. Initially wanted to have this head displayed in a hangar diorama but I guess time was not really on my side, truth is lately I have been feeling very low on motivation.

I had shelved this project for 5 months due to other commitments and also finding my way back into modeling was hard and dreadful.

But I tell myself I need to complete this by hook or by crook. Thus a long weekend presented me an opportunity and so I made an effort to do a quick prime and straight it went into painting. Glad I have done that.



Minor paneling and details. Head vulcans replaced with metal thrusters.


Light them up!



Some pics of the base:

Fitted a ball joint for the head so that it can be tilted downwards. “Hide” the switch at the back.

The wiring and battery can be stowed inside the base!
