Back in the 90’s when the first DS9 Rio Grand Runabout model came out. I decided I would build it with as complete an interior with lights that I could build. I had never done anything like it before nor ever saw anything like it at the time, like I said it was 1993 so no LED strips. I ended up using red, blue, yellow and white mini Christmas lights and thin wire from Radio Shack for the interior and warp nacelles and powered them with a 12volt transformer from a train power pack. I spent hours drawing from watching VHS recordings from the show and luckily the STNG episode Timescape the only time the rear compartment was ever shown (which was nuts, I never understood why they didn’t use it on DS9?) Scratch built the entire cockpit seats, consoles, transporter pad and the rear with the big table and chairs, the one console Data sat at , a long sofa and end tables along the long back windows and four crew bunks with little plastic curtains. Lighted squares in the roof panels and hand painted everything using colored markers and pencils to make the consoles. In the end it came out amazing considering my limitations. Took it to a model show in Utica ny where I was stationed in the USAF at the time and got lots of compliments and a couple of “you Air Force guys are nuts” declarations. I guess we all are a little, and proud of it!
