Boobytrap Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 There are 4 light strips in each cabinet, got the 2nd one done yesterday.. friendly piece of advise... put the lights in AS you build your Detolf.. trust me on this.. LOL. Where did you install each of them? It's hard to tell due to the reflections in the glass. Would you also happen to have a link to the lights? Sorry for all the questions but I've had a similar project on my mind. I was planning on using flexible LED strips down the sides with a remote control but the amount of work to get it to look nice has caused me to hesitate. I would love to replicate the results you have achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) No problem..happy to help..The lights are from Ikea, I don't have a link, but I can post a pic of the box when I get home tonight. I use one strip per shelf under the top wooden shelf and then under the next 3 glass shelves. Be advised -- the included sticky strips don't hold well, especially on the wood top. I had to get some dual locking heavy duty velcro and cut small strips..so far they are holding Edited August 16, 2016 by derex3592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What scale is that? 1/100 from Bandai...made as accessories for Gundam....but are good stand-ins for Macross....would be nice if Bandai released some accessories for their HMR line...
