Lighting up Deadlines - PoweredPlay Games in Firebucket Defenses

May 23rd - via: lxg-blog.blogspot.com
Here's the first in what will be an incredibly enjoyable series of builds- applying Poweredplay light kits to a few choice models I'm working on. First up today: the "Deadline" defensive fortification from Firebucket Games. Just to remind everyone where we started, this was the primed and sepia coated FireBucket Games "Deadline" fortification. Again, you'll note the heavy classic "art deco" style, and the big bulky feel to this piece- it really looks and feels like it could stop a tank. The first step was drilling through the posts and using the "yellow" lights- I felt that they would offer that "caution" feel and contrast well with my intended color scheme. Oh sweet Jervis, it took longer to drill the resin than it did to mount the lights! Once they were in place, the wires were tucked, and the electrical part of the build was complete- literally in minutes. Belgarath97 was right... I'm gonna buy a hundred of these things! (Read More)
