Sweeeet.

[TheGreatSatan]

I put the panel back on

The front and right sides are next

[msmrx57]

That is looking bad*#s!

[TheGreatSatan]

Thnx

Really, all I had to do here was add a basic shroud and attach the 50 cal rounds

[TheGreatSatan]

Next, I want to have the Arc Reactor on the front of the case, so I bought the $6 toy at Walmart

I covered up the top piece with the light and painted it

And here it is all silver

That's when I realize that it looks nothing like the one from the movie. This one has this gay triangle in the middle and lights up yellow? It looks like the easy way won't be good enough.

I'm going to build my own Arc Reactor!

Where are you gonna get the 2g of palladium?

Oh, also, it looks like the toy is from the second movie...idk if the thing with the reactor changing is canon, I feel like there are around 5 different reasons for Stark's health problems between the various movies/TV/comic series.

XD I love when you do things the hard way!

The triangular one is the second, more powerful arc reactor. For War Machine, the second is correct though-because his is a suit truly, and is not attached to his chest.

Some scouting should be able to locate you an NOS one from the first movie. Let me run a search for you, I'll see what I can come up with.

There's some info for you.. Should be helpful.

Sounds like something I should do with my spare time...

I saw a few how-to's, but I can't land the parts they used, so.....

I picked up this super-bright LED magnet light for $5

I then dissected the toy Arc Reactor

And glued it to a $2 Tub Sprout Ring

Then I glued the conjoined pieces to the top of the push light

And there it is!

As you can see it's far brighter than the old yellow one.

Next, I'll add it to the front panel .
