I would love to do my own lighting setup and save $300 instead of buying the pre made one. If its not too much trouble are you able to do a guide/tutorial on how you are making your lighting kit and a list of the parts and where you will be purchasing them? That would be great!
There is a great video of this guy making the arboretum but an extremly detailed version if you would like a link to the video?

Stefan, the lighting kit is very low budget mate, & I'm taking some serious short cuts like not bothering to mask the interior, so the whole ship will have a dull glow to it. Naturally the windows will still be brighter than the rest of the ship though. I'd doubt you'd want that kind of 'tutorial' would you? In any case, I'm using 2 X 12V BAY15D stop/tail lamps (from Jaycar's) which is 9 X white LED's in the one unit giving 360 degree spread on one plane & 180 on the other. I'm defusing where necessary will coloured pieces of scrap plastic. One in the saucer & one in the secondary hull. The Nacelles - Not sure what to do there yet..It'll look ok, but not like the Pro's are doing. I've only got X amount of time to spend on this!
Here's the saucer section. I exposed too long (1 sec exposure) so it's not really this bright.
