Post by: Mandalore the skepsis on July 19, 2010, 07:23:22 AM: Wow seriously, thanks so much for all the compliments.

The endor one was my first dio.
It was fun too do.
I needm ore Ewoks lol.

The echo base is still really in progress. I have to add more ice and snow too it before its done.
Im also adding more of a head quarters/computer/war room area, more lights and lots more details.

I have to throw in some vintage, potj, potf, and the new stuff. There is greatness and goodness from the beginning to the now imho.

Much like g1 transformers, without the vintage originals, we wouldn't even be talking about this stuff.

Im really enjoying doing this.
The time put into it really makes it all worth it in the end.

The time put into it also takes a lot off of me mentally as I can just delve right into it and forget the rest of the world for a bit.

Thanks bro. The tat dio is still coming together.

I have only one of the platforms ready, I need to paint and install the other large one and the two small ones, which forms the room of the hoth/echo base dio.

Probably that will be done by not this weekend but next.
We had a death in the family this morning and things have really been put on hold. :-\

I bought the hose from a online hose store... http://www.cabletiesandmore.com/

The light fixtures I made by using two water bottle caps glued together. I then took a dremel bit and made a hole through both once there cured.
The actual leds I bought, I bought here...http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/

And yup those are those clamps you get at any home supply store.
I wanted a more industrial look with it.

I wanted some for my hallways (not really to hide wire in) and for the cables connecting the laser turrets

There low heat leds.

So the ice doesn't melt right? :P

Seriously tho awesome stuff couldn't believe those were simple bottle caps, i like the look of the ribbed tubing. Gives me ideas that I'll eventually add to my own dio when i finally get around to it.

Post by: Spookymufu on May 10, 2011, 03:01:51 PM: just an update, i was able to find 1/8th inch convoluted loom tubing from this guy

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380257009667&viewitem=

it's perfect for hoses running around for various equipment. I found the 1/4" was too big for most applications in this scale. If you have the Eweb gun with hose and box, this stuff is almost the same siza as that hose, just to give you an idea of the size
