Thanks Newt!

But I couldn't agree more. All I can say is that the ALIENS collections amongst us Freaks are going to be ABSOLUTELY BADASS!

Freaking love this stuff. Once i start assembling my marines there going to be awesome. Hicks first with a new head from Les, oh yeah.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could post a parts list and sources for doing these mods for those who might want to try them out them selves.

PM Hurricane or P@CK@R@CK, I'm sure they won't mind sharing the recipe.

from the video, this is what I think Hurricane has:

- a flashing LED light, make sure it is the one with built in resistor..and there's a lot of varieties there. Also, they vary in sizes from 5mm - 10 mm or larger
- 2 wires, one for + and the other for -
- soldering iron and the solder
- and I think a battery cell holder ( really hard to find ) they also vary in sizes.


You can purchase all of these for 10 - 15 bones


These are the same things I am using for my custom light-up Iron man bust.

also, if you want an on/off switch, you can purchase a lot in ebay for cheap.

You forgot the most important part: a microswitch to turn it on/off.

Speaking of which, def let us know when they get to 'Cane, D.

Well, I've only got one tracker and three lamps to ever get done, so I will wait until you guys are all done, then I will get mine "Caned!"
Cool stuff!

Glenn, you must not sleep anymore!

almost,but no cigar.........most of the components are correct except im using 3mm flashing whire leds,this small so they can be angled inside the housing,wire is the pain im using what i can find inside old hi-fi's really really thin wire,ive got some now less than 1mm across,also the screens are printed and differ alot from the actual hot toys screens which were quite a bit wrong,switches are courtesy of Dave.anyway i borrowed a marine 'hicks' for some pics,

 

[Reinhardt]

OMG, this is gonna be SICK to have our guys LIT UP !

Second grid base (undergravel filter) arrived so...

Bring it on 'CANE!. Can't wait!

 

[dekadentdave]

UPDATE:

The switches I ordered came in today. I'll be sending them off to Cane tomorrow. Should take about a week to get there and then it's time to light 'em up!

Hi Hurricane! Yeah, that lamp on your Hicks looks great! I'm still on board to get some lamps from you sometime in the near future. I know we've already talked in PMs. I appreciate that. Thank you! I can't wait to see your motion tracker too! I know I'll definitely be interested in one of those, maybe two if I can afford it.
