That thing is absolutely gorgeous. How long did it take you to put it together?
About 8 months (afternoon and night), and several months for the renovation of the original base.
I will make a video "how to work" to explain the functionality.

Is it kit-bashed from another SD model or is 100% scratch-built? Did you use fibre-optics? and is that regular SD to scale?
Hello Ryan and thanks for your comment! It is 100% homemade, I didn't use the fibre-optics but I used 7 meters of led strips, 3 50cm strips of led in sequence, 2 red flashing leds, 1 bluetooth speaker, 6 switches in total, 10 meters of electical wires and welds, 2 ac adaptors. For the support I will use an RGB color led strip.
It has 1 switch to control the "power on" of the lights, 2 switches to active the "superlaser" led and 1 switch to active the flexible led for the "primary ignition" (they can be controlled remotely by a wifi remote control).
Inside there is a speaker connected in bluetooth to a smartphone for the sounds effects by a custom soundboard.

The SD next is only for reference but "almost" in scale, because the Eclipse is very very big (17.500 meters). The scale of SSD Eclipse is 1:15625
