Made one of these for a collector friend of mine. It's got led lights built into the base to illuminate the graphics on the case and the item inside. What do you guys think?

Very nice work and I like the item illuminated with the LED's.

I'd love to see what that looks like in the dark when it's lit up - must be great! Cool idea, Dan.

I know, i'll see if i can get him to take another pic in the dark with batman in it lol. Took a lot of practice to get bubble free edges on the joints, but I finally can do it consistently.

It sounds like i'm being a smart-alec, but this is 100% sincere. Less pressure, more patience and a lot of wasted acrylic. oh, and a bunch of right angle clamps lol.

here are a few pics of a prototype base I made for a t-1000 figure of mine, this kind of shows it better in the dark.

Absolutely awesome. This is just another cool way to use these led's.
