Subject: Light up hallmark spaceships????
I was watching an ebay auction the other day and I noticed one for the Enterprise E. It had light up engines and so on. I suppose it hooks to christmas light strings. It occurred to me it might be neat to somehow attach it by a short wire to a battery and have it move across the full thrust table lighted up. I have no idea if it's feasible though. It would be impractical to connect your ships to the wall by a christmas light string. Has anyone done this, or does anyone wish to comment on the feasiblity of it? I don't know how much it's possible to disassemble the lights so I don't know how feasible it would be to replace the lights or wiring with other lower power wiring, if that should be necessary. I'm afraid I wouldn't have the skills or tools for a project of that magnitude anyway. e.g. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1138213581&r=0&t= 0&showTutorial=0&ed=988551989&indexURL=0&rd=1
