F-14 LED Stands VF-154 and VF-111

Post by pizzaguy » Mon Jul 25, 2011 2:45 pm

I made a LED stand for the F-14 Black Knights and a VF-111 "Miss Molly" for a guy the other day. They look really cool with the LED's at night. Just wanted to share them.

Easy but time consuming process. I use Clear acrylic, vinyl sticker, LED lights, AA battery pack, Jigsaw and elbow grease. That's about it.

It would be cool to do a platform for one of your V-2's with four LED lights around the base casting light up on the rocket. Just a thought.

That would be great .. when I'm "finished" . . . :lol:

How do you cut/etch the acrylic?
