"Let's Get Lit!" Topic

Yes, yes, Borg cube. You've seen it before. I posted it before. But the WIP blog entry will illuminate the difference.

Have my subtle cues shed light on what is going on with this one?

An interesting construct.

I almost expected to see one side of the cube as a tic-tac-toe pattern.

Good work all around!

Could you have glued the el wires down, to get less slack?

I could have and I still could. I am considering it. El wire is used a lot for automotive applications (pimp my ride), and normal industrial adhesives will work on it. The outer coat is a highly polar plastic that won't bond well with PVA (cow glue) or CA (super glue).

The other thing I can do is to pinch the wires at the joints to make them lay flat. The plastic will deform and hold shape. While I have el wire projects that are over a decade old, I am irrationally concerned about it burning out and me having to entirely destroy a project to remove it. I'm much more comfortable with hidden copper wires. and rewiring that.

thanks

Well I always suspected you had a part in scenes like this…

Two Miranda Class ships up close and personal with Warp Core set to go off.

Bye, Bye Borg Ship

Nice job!
