Lightbulb Cyberverse Ark

Completed work
- LEDs installed and wired: Post #23
- Put magnifying lenses and Lego wheels over thrusters: Post #49

Future work
- Make interior look better
- Perhaps some painting in the distant future...

I'd like to emulate the boosters as shown in the opening of DotM. My Facebook and Real Effin' Deal friend Matt sent me some orange LEDs and boards that arrived yesterday, so I got to work...
The wheels shown are from a Lego Racers set...

Red face All holes drilled...

I drilled the other two holes yesterday. I was hoping to start on the next phase of the project, but I was feeling wiped out...

Thanks!

I got the LEDs all in. I used HVAC tape left over from my RotF Optimus Prime trailer in hopes that the light will reflect around inside the thrusters...
I started cutting the last two pieces to put on the thrusters. I accidentally broke one and had to glue the piece back on...
Next will be the switch and batteries, then wiring it all together.

After looking at some more movie pics, I think I'll try doing this to Cyberverse Starscream's vehicle as well...

Good luck with this and nice work on the lego wheels.

I got hold of a cheap Ark a couple of week ago with something similar in mind, though I may need a second and hack them together to make it more screen accurate. Big pile of WIP to get through first though
