This is a work in progress for my summer comp entry. I know I haven't done much 1/64 modding lately so I thought I'd pull somthing outta my arse to show that I (think) still got it..??....

I got some clear plastic rod and glued a small SMD blue LED on one side. What you see is about 1.5cm long.



With 3V going though it:



And some more work in progress shots.....








cool......

ph2t.

Holy shit man.

oooo, purty! better be carefull but cos those 5 inch mosquitos will be drawn to it at night

zang!
those are awesome dude!

DOOD, that hot, now it needs a nice mettalic blue paint job.....

thanks fellas. there's a lot of outstanding work yet. I've bogged up the arse end , gotta sand and clean the edges where I've joined the leds/plastic beams.....

I'm trying to figure out how I can use the glow that's going through the chassis with paint to make a cool effect. you know, like some sorta masking of a pattern that will show through. now that will be cool.

knowing my luck though I'll prolly fuck it up.................

holy hell, what a great idea.
clear body, mask it out to leave some clear stripes or something and paint the rest - man that'd be tron hot!

I know man, that's what I'm thinking......

haha, yeah......

anyways, I've maksed the car for the inside paint job. I'm using white here for it's ability to reflect light as excellent......




time to place the waiting game.......

Wow man, that's awesome... I can't wait to see the finished car. That's even better than "underglow"...

hay r dude you skylinez!!!! blue leads r kewl. or are you big spoillor??

How about flames? fade some candy color into the front, mask the flames, and paint the rest in an opaque color.

I think some glowing flames would be cool, but you know I'm partial to flames. Maybe some exposed jagged lines for a lightening effect instead?

Anyways, that pretty cool. It's really bright!

laser cut the face of one of these buggahs!!

now holy wow im definetally gonna do this were do you get the tube?

Bumping this post here cuz I wanna know Ph2t hows it going? She still gonna light up the comp?
