Really happy with how it turned out! Decided to show it off to strangers for now as I haven't given it to him yet and i know he isn't on here. 😆. And it lights up!

Are the gears plastic, or are they real gears that turn?

[–] PiJiNWiNg@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Printed plastic, but I'm glad my paint job made you question! I do wish the gears turned, but the model designer was trying to emulate what he saw in the game, which didn't seem to care about real functional parts, haha

How'd you pull that off? The question mark looks like filament, not like a neon tube.

Its translucent green filament with green EL wire run through it, with the battery pack stored in the base.
