Pics to come later tonight, but another all text update unfortunately... Got slightly diverted into doing further work on my Baneblade. Since I figure I'll only ever be doing one of these, I decided to go to town on it. This includes making it a lit model, which has involved researching the arcane realm of LEDs, learning to solder and of course drilling and dremelling the hell out of my poor plastic kit :)
Unfortunately, I tried to go too far with the searchlight. I built a 10mm white LED housing but hated it and it looked out of place. Sadly, I ruined the searchlight that comes with the kit so I'll have to use something else and I'm dropping down to a more sane 5mm size, unless inspiration strikes again ;)
Red LEDs for the lascannons and yellow for the headlights and it looks good even without being lit up. The soldering is almost complete, so just the mounting to be done now!
