I've got about 500 hours in an Enterprise D model with LED's, the real fancy light up kind of custom model, and tonight as I was wrapping up the last lights before the final piece gets glued on to finish the assembly for decaling, I miraculously touched a hot wire to the only exposed lead on my 8 light flasher circuit and burned out every running strobe light on my model. I'm so unbelievably devastated right now. I worked so hard on this thing. So...hard. I yanked out the flasher circuit I built by hand and cracked it into a million pieces with my pliers. It's taken all I can muster to not bash this thing into my floor. Sure, the rest of the model lights up, but it's simply ruined for me now. Any time I show this thing, it's going to be "What's with the white lights that aren't doing anything?" Then I get to relive it all over again. Can't believe it.
