Why would you want pixels in this just to light it up internally? Surely the design and the paintwork would make it so blurry you'd not see the different colours?

As with any colored prop, you'd want to run mostly white lights inside but it's not about the color it's about being able to easily control them in your display. I did one up the way @lithgowlights suggested -- Created a base out of old pallet wood, attached a threaded rod onto that, ran 7 pixels along that and stuck that through a hole I drilled in the bottom.

Can not quite tell from this pic, but i got 6 of them on the poles.

I ended up using modules attached to some steel strapping and thread through, just had to drill another hole in the back for them to come out near the bottom. I can do some cool effects through them.
