Nice those. Nice use of leds too.

[Gun bunny]

That is fantastic work, very inspiring. keep it going! 

[Wirelizard]

Very nice.

Does the LED work? I've always wanted to do scenery with blinkenlights, never gotten around to it!

[Suber]

Amazing stuff!

[Anpu]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Yes it works, it was part of the packaging of a computer mouse I bought ages ago. When hooked up to the battery pack it gives of a steady blinking light.
I have wanted to do things with led lights for ages as well. With this project I think I must get out the soldering iron for the first time since school. I have one more ready batterypack with a string of lights that will be use for the main building.

Wonderful stuff! Using lights has been on to-do-list for me as well for sometime but never really got to it. Ebay is full of different led kits etc, I have ordered few and bought from electrical gadget stores few kits that would need soldering, eg. a circle of yellow blinking leds for a landing pad. Maybe one day... 

Will keenly follow your progress with this.

Lovely stuff. I have that apc, I was thinking of using it as an Imperial guard command vehicle but I like the civilian look.

[Commander Vyper]

Yeah leds are nice touches. I know how good it felt to include them in my halo stuff. I've a couple of links that may interest you so shoot me a pm when you get chance.

Cool looking terrain, love the solid, industrial brooding look.
Perfect for Hadleys Hope.

Will keep checking for more updates on this.

[Anpu]

Thanks for the feedback!

@Ranger: It won't be Hadley's hope I think but some similar colony subjected to foul play by Weyland-Yutani...

Here are WIP pics of the operations center.


LEDs for outside lightsJust losely positioned for now.


And the ops viewer table.

What is the black base of the ops center? Milk crate?

[Anpu]

The black frame objects are packing material from IKEA from their pictureframe department that I got for free.
There are several kinds. The one used for the ops I just glued card in the gaps and glued four of them together into a building shape. The one on the left in the picture ( also used in the vehicle bay) is a larger one where I cut out the small middle section to get a industrial crossbeam look.
