Time for the lights to go up. First I lined the boxes
with tin foil to help reflect the light. |

For the colored lights, I cut small pieces of colored
plastic and glued them to the top of the plastic tubes.
I tried colored lights but they were not as bright
as white, so this works better. |

I took out a string of miniature Christmas tree lights
(at this time of year, you can get them cheap on liquidation)
and placed them over each hole.
For the boxes I used 3 lights since they are a bigger
space.
You cannot see in the picture, |

but i used masking
tape to hold the wire in place.
Better then Hot Glue in case one day I decide to remove
the lights, it will be easier and not rip the foamcore to
shreds. |

I covered the top lights with tin foild to help brighten
up the plastic as much as possible.
In this picture you can better see the masking tape
that holds everything in place. |

Tada...Like magic we have colored lights.
Of course these are not strong enough to light the
entire falcon, it's more for decoration and detail.
To the naked eye, it looks totally awesome but I
need an extra source of light to take pictures.
All that's missing now is furniture... |

Did somebody call IKEA? LOL
All the accessories in place really make the difference
don't you think? |
