Round 2 22-inch Space: 1999 Eagle Transporter cockpit LEDs insert

thingiverse

UPDATED 11/2016! I've updated the light hood so it resembles the front cockpit console. Painting the console: The console is a dark grey, matching reference pics I have, and the rectangles on top are outlined in silver. Additional silver outlines and details can be seen in this screengrab: http://catacombs.space1999.net/main/images/spacehd/tfc/sptfc0021.jpg I've also deepened the wiring channel on the back and increased the LED hole diameter to 6mm, accommodating various LED packages.

If you've recently acquired a 22-inch Eagle Transporter from Round 2, you may decide to illuminate the cockpit interior. I know I do! However, I also don't want to go through blacking out the interior and gluing LEDs in place. So I created an insert that can hold two or three 5MM LEDs and direct the light forward without bleeding through the nose. There's also a baffle to further direct the light. Glue or solvent weld it to the front of the insert. You can glue a diffuser on it if your LEDs are too bright. See pics for how it goes together. A little hot glue or other thick adhesive will hold it in place, and you're all set. 5MM LEDs can be inserted from the back through channels that route the wiring towards the cockpit door. Fill the rear of each hole with putty to block any light leaking from the rear. The rest is up to you. What's that center hole for? I also drilled a hole in the middle for a third LED, either for more illumination, a different color, or perhaps a color-changing LED.
