Wow, the lights are awesome! What'd you use, fiber optics? Where is the bulb and battery, Hope you didn't use plutonium to power it. 😃

This is my 11 year old sons DeLorean, it's supposed to be a snap kit but the flash and badly fitting snap tabs saw me doing most of the work to be honest, but we had fun working on it. He's always liked the version with the fifties wheels with mini moons, he's very happy with it and want's to build something with "the big wings on the back" as he says, That would be something unmistakably 50's then, and very hard to find! Lol

Thanks!  This was the Aoshima kit.  Yes, very very thin fiber on the overhead console and the console behind the drivers seat.  I have a standard LED illuminating the dash gauges and 3 interdependent flickering LEDs for the Flux Capacitor.  I wanted to use some florescent panel film on the exterior blue bar that runs around the car but could not get it to work.  The battery and switch is in the stand so I can easily replace when needed.  I did the same approach with my Christine build.  Some build shots below show the lighting a little better.

I really like what you done with that. I've seen this kit a few times but not often with the dents and such, it just looks like a regular Nova otherwise. Nice work.

Thanks! It was a lot more work but just seemed necessary to get the feel of the movie car. Although I normally have no problem with diecasts, it's their one major shortfall - you never see the appropriate dents on cars like this, the Deathmobile, the Blues Brothers Dodge, etc.
