"OOPS!" II

Light reflector made from a piece of styrofoam ceiling tile (you'll recognize it as the backdrop for my 'Yards contest entry) reflecting my LED flashlight.  I used my main camera set to "Macro II" - or "super-close macro" - and actually set the camera down inside the cargo bay pointing at the figs.  You can see two small LED accent lights in the shot, as well.

In this shot, you can see the webcam in the cockpit, pointing through the rear hatch.  Well, I pretty much wedged the main camera into the same position and zoomed the telephoto in a touch.  Again, the scrap tile was used to reflect the light from my flashlight into the bay area.

I had two small LED lights in the cockpit for this shot.  I removed the starboard viewscreen and shot the pic thru the opening, using my main camera.

Go to your favorite party-supply place and look for "champaigne lights" or such.  They are small LED accent lights designed to be put inside ballons, tied onto party-favors, used as drink-tags, or whatever.  I got a pkg of 12 at WalMart on clearance for $7.  They use button batteries and twist on and off.  As you can see in my pics, they give you a bit of a blue light.

That's the one!!

I think I'm gonna make a partial ceiling for the cargo-bay with some visible, but nothing fancy, detailing on it to see if I can get the right "feel" for it.

Looking good, man, I'll have to keep an eye open for these "Champagne lights"

They look awesome.

Here's the "courtyard wall" I made today.  ("made" = "spent 10 minutes painting it as a test")
