I spent the day getting tires on the Fiat(the old racing tires were dangerous), shopping groceries, and working on the Enterprise E.



It was pleasure to get away from scribing windows. I did tests to get the nacelles lighted in the best way possible. I first tried the small strip lights that Randy Neubert put in the lighting kit. They were a bit sorcy and showed the individual blue dot LEDs on the strip.
So I tired his original concept and used thin plastic tubes he sent along and mounted a bright 3 mm LED at either end of the tube and that worked so well I was dancing!



I lit up the bussards in red using his diffusion and that worked well too. Now that that’s done I can do the other nacelle and install the strobe lights.
What brand of tires did you get?
Once I owned a 1980 FIAT 147, in Brazil and I loved that little car so much that when I had to buy tires for it, I bought Pirelli, just to keep it “all Italian”.
