Yep I'm gonna enjoy this build and it will certainly be a challenge to light it. I usually control my lighted models with the Inner Light solution from Scalectronics. However, that solution does not allow control of nano SMDs. So for this build I'm gonna have to go for a simpler approach.

Great idea on using colors on a clear strip of acetate to achieve a variety of colors on the consoles!👏 I've been experimenting with a similar idea..

Just playing with the Nano SMDs for the 'blinky' lights - here's the test Youtube Video

I'm curious about how you did the console graphics. Did you make them yourself?

Hi guys thanks for the comments. JD, the console graphics backing film is included in the Paragrafix photoetch kit. Other backlit colours I've created using the clear film with painted areas technique. Gotta say I'm surprised by how many SMDs I'm having to use - I didn't realise how much of this needed lighting.

Here's another video - this time I'm testing the blinky lights/gumballs or the underneath of the car Youtube Video

I've now wired up the full set of Blade Runner Spinner roof blinky (gumball) nano SMD lights. As I'm not using any micro-controllers I've just used a mix of steady and different flash rate SMDs.

I've now installed and wired up nano SMDs into the cockpit of the car. The backlit films on the main diver consoles are included as part of the aftermarket Paragrafix photoetch set for the 1/24 scale Fujimi kit. The center console is backlit with one cool white nano SMD and I've added clear film with coloured areas to give the effect of different coloured lights/buttons.

Here's my near completed Spinner. Just the canopy and foot well glass to install and some touch up, minor weathering and gloss/satin coat sealing - Youtube Video

Hi all, here's my pretty much complete Blade Runner Spinner Flying cop car. This is a daylight video with part II being a night time video.
I really enjoyed this build and the challenge of squeezing all the nano SMDs in. I thought the car would look best flying 😉 so I've made a custom base and flexible mount to display it. Some minor touch-up and decal repair, but pretty much done. Shout if you have any questions on this build.

Absolutely outstanding! 🤘🤩🤘 A very inspirational build. It's been enjoyable to watch, and although I would like to see many more shots of how you did certain things, it's been an awesome ride. 👏
