(...) Hehe...this is a great concept. I think of the early 80's Idea Books that have all the awesome interior shots with cool lighting and such. How amazing would a similar shoot look with consoles like these? Or say Dan's Explorer with a couple (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.parts.mod)

You'd have a ridge there. I can probably clean this current (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.parts.mod)

Rob, those are great. Never mind the naysayers "LEGO never made that console in that color" or whatever they may say. You are a(n evil) genius. Of course, now you have to figure out how to introduce motion effects into your lighting, so (URL) this (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

Check 'em out: (URL) extremely happy with the outcome. No shadows, no unsightly innards showing... Thanks to Admiral Giddens for the use of his site for reference material.

(...) Would it be possible to fill the block with some sort of translucent something? That way the lighting would more diffused, and light up more evenly. Even something like good old-fashioned white glue - that dries clear and the light would show (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.space)
