I was going through some videos I made a while ago and here is a easy mod for the Death Star for anyone that has a DE Star Wars.... I used a dremel tool and carved out the slots on the Death Star. Then installed red LEDs GI lights and a white flashers inside it.... here is a video of it running....

Just take your time....Use a small bit, and go slow. The bit will want to wander, so hold it steady. I don't understand why DE put lights in the Death Star and made it a solid piece of plastic.

When the Death Star rotates you can see the light on the right side of the machine... but I painted mine black, so it showed up better. The blue was very scuffed up and hard to match the color. The black looks good in the machine. I wanted to even paint in stars on the sides but never made the time before I sold it.
