I then re-positioned the lights and lined the inside with some foil..........definitely helped a little with the lighting effect.

I decided I also wanted to add a lighting effect to one of the smaller tubes. The control box will have LEDs as well, but this sits much lower. I cut a slit near the top of the pipe and printed some blue squares on a transparency sheet. I then cut the squares down and did a quick test fit. Rather than wire this light to the switches on the control box, I just went with a tiny LED flashlight. It works perfectly with the switch at the bottom, I just bore out a hole on the back side of the pipe and slid in the flashlight. Easy to turn on and off and hardly noticeable.

I moved the base up to the Star Wars room before I installed anything just to make sure nothing shifted or broke when moving it. I used Rustoleum Black Stainless Steel for the pipes and although you can't really tell in the photos, it looks nice against the HIC cabinet color as well as the black in the base. For each pipe that connects to the base I used a 3/4 PVC plug, drilled a hole in it, then screwed that to the base. Sorry for the poor lighting in the photos, not the best room for taking pictures.
