strobing rocket exhaust

not sure if im gonna go with the fake rocket exhaust but it looks ok from a distance.
i put a strobing led in the tailpipe, the fire effect is made from a mutilated electrical screwdriver handle and some thick red plastic lighting gel cut into strips.

nearly there

i used to hate fiddling about putting leds into stuff but i cant get enough of em now
