(The tough part of adding LEDs to       the thrusters is that the thrusters are too shallow&#8230;  So I had       to hollow them out a bit.)  I&#8217;ll light the back thrusters and       the leg thrusters, and that&#8217;ll be it for LEDs.  I had considered       lighting every little camera eye on the thing, plus the weapons       and the overboost, but I decided that would be too difficult.  I       want to keep this project relatively simple, but I also want the       end result to be really cool&#8230;  So I must find the proper       balance.<\/p>\n<p>The LEDs in the head are surface-mount LEDs, the 0603 type.       They&#8217;re small enough to fit almost anywhere.  They&#8217;re wired       together with magnet wire from Radio Shack &#8211; it&#8217;s a type of wire       that has insulation painted-on, which means it&#8217;s thinner than       equivalent jacketed wire.  They&#8217;re wired to the outside using 30       AWG stranded Teflon wire, which is my usual choice for wiring in       model projects, as it&#8217;s quite thin and very resilient.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Preview\" href=\"\/model-data\/1_72_AC_Hakuheisen\/20071003_Hakuheisen_preview.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_72_AC_Hakuheisen\/20071003_Hakuheisen_preview_thumb.png\" alt=\"Preview\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Head Wiring (1)\" href=\"\/model-data\/1_72_AC_Hakuheisen\/20071003_Hakuheisen_head_wiring_1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_72_AC_Hakuheisen\/20071003_Hakuheisen_head_wiring_1_thumb.png\" alt=\"Head Wiring (1)\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Head Wiring (2)\" href=\"\/model-data\/1_72_AC_Hakuheisen\/20071003_Hakuheisen_head_wiring_2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_72_AC_Hakuheisen\/20071003_Hakuheisen_head_wiring_2_thumb.png\" alt=\"Head Wiring (2)\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided early on that I wanted this kit to have LED lights, and so I&#8217;ve added some to the head already and am planning to add some to the thrusters.
