A Super Model...

I picked this model up years ago and while I didn't start building it right away, I knew that it would need some special treatment.  At some point, I decided to start the build and to that end I bought some LEDs and started cutting and wiring.  What you see next is a modification to Green Lantern's chest emblem which I cut out and replaced with a clear plastic disk so I could light it up and the arm of the robot he's fighting, which I turned into the light switch.




 
 
Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're not overly interested in the model building process) I put this model aside for a long time after I'd wired it and modified it.  When I finally got around to painting and final assembly, I didn't  record any of that process.
 
The final product:
 
 
 
Lit up:

 
 
And just 'cuz I like moving gifs:
 
 
 
My next models (in no particular order) will be Superboy, Wonder Woman, Mr. Spock and a very spiffy Invisible Man.
