My First Attempt At A Low Budget Countdown Gauntlet

[ThePred2012]

Well, here is my budget countdown gauntlet. I used foam sheets and thick styrofoam. I hollowed out the thick styrofoam and cut out a top out of foam craft sheet. I added a few buttons and designs for a 3D effect. I used red lens tape and cut out the letters using an razor knife. I used a green chem light for the light effect, probably going to change it to led lights if I get the time. Any suggestions are appreciated. I would love some constructive advice! What do you think?

I will seal it better so the edges are not so noticable with the light, just wanted to post it quickly for any advice.

I like it so far!

The use of a chem light is clever. A great budget build idea. No soldering iron required!
