: Dear Jesse,
: I am also a "lunatic" and am attempting the same as you! Light Sheet is good, but after checking it out, can be VERY expensive, depending on what you want to do. The biggest problem seems to be the connectors that you must leave at the ends of a particular piece. They can do custom pieces, but you need their modules in order to light the pieces.
: I have opted for lots of fibre optic cable. I will do some experimenting with small clear rods, and attach fibres to them on the promenade ceilings.
: The only source for fibre optics I can locate is Flexi-Light in England. The address is www.flxlight.demon.co.uk. They have a good selection of cables and accessories. They only accept AMEX at this time.
: Good luck,
: Michael Turano
Hello Michael, it's Jesse. I found another good source for fiber optics, and (depending on where you live) it's a lot closer than jolly old England. Colpar Hobbies. Their site is at www.colpar.com. I just received some .030, .040, and .060 lengths today. The price is reasonable but with the free fiber optics promo going on, it's hard to pass that up.
I haven't found a web site that sells or goes into detail about light sheet. If you know of one, could you (or anyone else of course), post it? Thanks.
Well, back to the hull.
Jesse
