    Sweet, nice paint job as usual.

    I wanted to paint this Prime but just don't have the time to do so.
    This piece is looking great. Are you going to make a nemesis out of this ?

    Woo! I love multiquoting! Yeah, the alternate mode is really crappy but somehow, apart from the fists, the mold is starting to grow on me. Hmm..it's very nice to admire in a standing 'hero' pose. Looks a bit like the MP mold.

    Hulloooooo~! Just came back from the hardware shops. They didnt seem to carry any leds smaller than 1cm. But I really hope to pull off an LED mod some time soon. It'll look really cool! Thanks Ptitvite!

    Hey hey Crefigz. I think that's a good idea. Just cant seem to bring myself to do this mold again for the time being. Heheh. Maybe after the next few henkei molds that I'm doing. :)

    You'll more likely need LEDs that are surface mounted... IMO, it's about 1 square mm... Not easy to handle and even less to solder... Using the iron, you may damage them.

    a little off subject, but I usually use a soldering iron to fix leds into place, can I make it easier on myself and use superglue? does electricity conduct through glues?

    as pretty as your paint is (and it's REALLY pretty) even it can't save this crappy mold :(
