I like the glowing, really makes those translucent parts go to work!

How hard are LEDs to work with anyways?

Once you get used with soldering, it's really easy, Just have to think what you'll do next and test between every step to make sure everything is right.

I'll make a tutorial when i'm finished with him (surely before i begin its paint apps).

For now, enjoy the new pics ;-)

Btw, every 4 LEDs works on only 2 x 1,5V batteries. My next LED uses more tension, so i'll add some batetries. The fairy wings on it upper arm and those knee pads should be working before the end of next week (if everything goes as plan).

EDIT: Don't worry. Those wires will be hidden by the end of it. But for now, i want to make sure everything will go as planned so i'm take precautins and i uses those way-too-long wires. Btw, they are form an extra IDE cable i had.
