PF to arrive to see how well the lights work lighting upwards. The logic is, the base will resemble
a building/structure being lit from below, with Catwoman sitting in the darkness above.
Great touch! That'll look fantastic!

Those lights give it a nice touch, will really fit well with the Catwoman. What were they selling for on ebay? I would like to pick some up for the Trinity.

The best price i spotted on ebay was:
10x Modern 1W LED Small Spotlight Mini Ceiling light Cabinet Light Counter Light
Price: £19.47 ($24.35)

Other options included:
2x Modern 1W LED Small Spotlight Mini lights
£12.00 ($15.00)

The light's i picked up shipped with the 'LED Drivers' (small plastic boxes that bridge your mains power supply to the lights). I'm not sure if all sellers include the LED Drivers.

I've just ordered (off ebay) 1x In Line Torpedo ON/OFF Rocker Light Switch - clear plastic (they offer white, black, gold also). That way i can leave the lights plugged in and use and on/off switch. At the moment i have to plug/unplug the LED lights.

PCS - Mileena 1/3

A work in progress. Mileena positioned on a solid black wooden platform. Today i got Mileena's base
plugged in and lit up. It works a treat. Also i constructed a black wooden frame to hold a directional
LED spotlight, designed to light up Mileena her self. All in all, things worked out as planned.

Mileena looks great and happy the plug works ;-) Does the 99cent plug doing the work?
Will you also put a picture of a channel or something behind here back like she is going throw the wall into the room?

The $10.00 plug appears to be doing the trick. The $22.00 240v - 110v converter failed. I'm still scratching my head as to why it failed?

I could look into adding a picture. Can you post some examples?
I was looking into buying printer paper on a roll and looking into printing images A4 width, longer than the usual A4 297 millimeters.

Hot Toys - Shuri

Hot Toys - Shuri arrived yesterday. Having unboxed the figure today, all i can say is, amazing!
I took some shots. The first shot has had some Photoshop noise filter added along with some
colour balance, as i wanted to try and achieve photo-realism.

I tend to keep poses basic, step away from museum, so as to avoid creases and messing up
the figure long term. My mini Hot Toys collection is coming
