Cool conversion.
I tried my hand, but came up with a slightly different process:
1. Hold you brand new, $40 USD-ish miniature in your left hand.
2. Are you sure you really want to do this?
3. With razor saw in right hand, gently pry upper and lower halves of model apart with left fingers and slide saw into the gap.
4. Oh, crud.
5. Apply pressure to the wound. Antibiotic ointment can prevent debilitating infection.
6. Once again, use razor saw to separate hull sections.
7. When you hear that 'snap', have mini-heart attack.
8. Apply coat of light-blocking black spray to inside of model pieces. Should have done this is well-ventilated area… pretty-pretty butterflies… <thump>
9. Install lighting circuit components per italian/korean instructions.
10. Use strong glue to re-join hull sections.
11. Find the electronic component you forgot to install still in its box.
12. Pry apart #$@#$ model again.
13. Perform lighting test.
14. BUZZZZZZZ
15. Note that italian/korean instructions called for 12 Volts, not 120 Volts. Put out fire.
16. Make repairs.
17. Your lighted Star Destroyer is ready for battle!
18. Lose your Star Destroyer in the very first round to triple criticals rolled by the one opponent you can't stand.
19. Rage quit.
20. eBay listing: Slightly used custom Star Destroyer, some blood stains, needs new LEDs and power supply.
