With the new 1/24 Spinner from Blade Runner coming very soon from Fujimi I new I had to have this kit. It's been one of my favorite scifi vehicles of all time.

Seeing as how I love to light models I knew lighting this kit was going to be a challenge because of all the single lit domes on the roof.

I started doing some research on micro LEDs. I found this website that looks to be a one stop shopping source to light this much anticipated kit. Check out the different kits and videos.

I like the strobe kit but it uses bulbs instead of LEDs. I think swapping the bulbs for their pre-wired SMTs would be perfect for the Spinner.
One of my other passions is police car models. I built several for some Waterford Township police officers in Michigan several years ago. I never realized that all this stuff was available for police car models!

The Spinner is maybe my top grail of all time. Mine are ordered. I wonder about decals?? Are they going to include BR decals or BTTF almost naked look?? If we do not get BR decals I'll make mine myself. I may pass on lighting but wait to see yours!
BTW....I was in LA in May.....and around the Staples center it is starting to look like BR....giant video ads on buildings.....very electronic!

Looking forward to the kit release - lighting it would be great - and have a batch on order.
That said, I just received the MAV model spinner that was packed with a Blue Ray of the movie

Pretty good model, pre-finished with opening doors etc.

But would be difficult to install lighting without causing serious damage.....

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage
to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill today because they got on my nerves.
And help me to remember when I'm having a bad day and it seems that people are trying to wind me up, it takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 to smile
and only 4 to extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth!
