so here's the image of the alt mode. I REALLY want the ice cream part to light up... 
Is there a way to cast this in a more transparent plastic? Resin is quite opaque, and won't work. I've also thought about hollowing out more of the inside of it to thin out the plastic, but it might get some areas brighter than others because the thickness. Any suggestions?!? |

I'd paint it in a semi-transparent white (maybe airbrush a few coats over it) good idea, thanks. | |

Battle Beasts are the grizzled, battle-hardened antecedents to Pokemon, who shake their heads disapprovingly at the cutesy scions of today before pickling their disgust with a bottle of bourbon, sitting in the darkness and staring moistly into the middle-distance while faint echoes of dying comrades grace their ears as if in a waking nightmare.

I'm gonna run experiments with that also. Perhaps 1 or 2 drops of white paint in the resin while wet will make a 1/2 transparent 1/2 white cast result. | |
