Thanks guys all really great suggestions. I'll let you how things turn out.

Thanks Atlantis,

I'll try and draw up a diagram of the circuit I'm trying to build and see if anyone can help me out.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good website where I could buy premade circuit boards or breadboards for my lighting projects. I don't think that I have the skills to make my own and I don't want to pay an arm and a leg to have one made for me. I don't need anything elaborate just some...

Wow ok I didn't think that a lighter would be a good choice because of the black smoke that they can sometimes give off. Well in that case that sounds pretty easy and I really feel like a noob.

I have seen people talk about a process I believe is called lensing the ends of fiber optic strands. I was wondering if anyone had a process for doing this? I obviously can't use a lighter to melt the end so what would be the best way to heat up the end and what would be the best way to shape the en...

I'm testing a circuit with 7 LEDs in paralell. 5 red LEDs a green and a yellow. I have the yellow, green and a red together with a 1ohm resistor then I have another three red together with another 1ohm resistor then one red alone with a 330 ohm resistor. After having the circuit on for only a short ...

I was wondering what is the best way to put the lighting and electronics into the model and still have access to change batteries or bulbs. For example an X-Wing fighter, the body is not very big so the electronics I would think would have to be fairly tight. How would I place the electronics into t...

I'm not sure what the cable is made of. It's LG64 from fiber optic products Inc.

What is the best way to cut and strip fiber optic cable and also to cut the individual fibers?
