    I don't really have an ikea close to me. Where would you buy some lighting for the cases?

    You could probably order something from eBay or Oznium.com or something. But London isn't too far from an Ikea. Just pick some up the next time you are in Toronto or wherever. My nearest ikea is 1.5 hours away almost. I go when passing through or make a Saturday of it. The lights are $26/ pack.

    By the way, I was just playing around. I'm not telling you what to do, man. :)

    Those hands are looking damn good, especially in that first shot. Dynamic, exciting, lively poses, as always.

    I would but don't get to Toronto too often. Don't have wheels. I've been wanting lights for my cabinets for a while. Just been lazy. My basement light is not enough. I want to really show these bad boys off!!!

    Ikea's website does ship. Granted, it ships from Montreal so it's more expensive than going to a store if there's a store nearby, but it's an option.

    However, most hardware stores ought to sell LED strip lighting, which is all you really need. Hell, dollar stores sell little battery operated LED lights - I use them to light my sets for my comics. That's not a great long-term solution, of course, but if you're only going to have the lights on once in a while, it's an option.

    Ebay:
    MegaMoonMan made some 3D printed MP-09 knees. They're made with black plastic, but they're way more solid than the original knees and you could paint them to match. Just search his username in the b/s/t boards.

    So, cartoon accurate Masterpiece Bluestreak is pretty much done now.

    The formula: MP-18 shoulders and head, MP-18S everything else + Tamiya black spray paint. For the autobot symbol I used the sticker that came with Silverstreak. When I needed it a really good match for the silver was Tamiya chrome silver.

    Learned a lot in the process, and he ain't perfect, but then none of my MPs are in terms of paint so he fits right in!
