"Lightcart" scratchbuild - UPDATED Dec 30 2007

Hey there,

Just got a few new pieces up to speed. One of them is a cart for mobile illumination.

In the next few days I will show you the primed model.

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy! Cool [8D]

Hey thanks!
Actually, what I used were the plastic hemispheres from "Googly Eyes" that you can find at Michaels or AC Moore. If you carefully cut off the white backing, you get a nice clear dome. I just recently discovered this trick from the folks who build model cars, trucks and motorcycles. It definitely worked out for me.
