Rather than just running wires wherever they'll fit, the build uses specially designed pieces and routes to keep them hidden. Once everything is finished, you're looking at the model and the lighting rather than a load of wires, and it makes a massive difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lighting works particularly well here.
