Something new

[ptgreek]

Been playing with EL wire to give some effect for my new suit. This was just a trial. Cut out parts of the grill in the Gort. Still gonna back it with mesh. Finish the paint and lenses. Just wanted to see how the lighting worked

Awesome idea. Where do you get the EL wire?

 

[ptgreek]

Ha... I have a bunch a it. Been working on a Daft Punk suit on the side and decided to apply some of it to my Pred suit. I bookmarked the link on my computer, but my Internet is down.. Posting all of this through my iPhone. I'll get you the link when I can... There are many sites selling wire and pre-fab kits... Not very expensive either. Think I spent 5 bucks on the bio's lighting

Now thats a really cool idea =D wicked look on that bio.

 

[gatoulas]

Very interesting idea. I might steal it for one of my bios or Star Wars helmets

I used blue EL wire on my Imperial Seatrooper helmet. Looks awesome, as it does on this Gort bio as well.

EL wire and anything that lights up is cool in my book.
I got a bunch of Red EL wires, LED's etc. from my electric supplier. There's so much u can do with them like for computer gaunts etc!

Blue lighting always looks cool, as for a pred i think it will work well as long at its not overdone

very intruiged now

 

[ptgreek]

...and I aim to intrigue.
EL is actually great ...not as bright as LEDs..more of a consistent mechanical glow. Too late now ..I cut into that Bio already

[pdisc]

[Sand Scout]

Yeah el wire is great my first lightsaber was made with it. You stolded a little idea I had for my pred I'm putting a little on my armor

The greatest thing about EL wire is it doesn't consume alot of electricity so 2 batteries should last you a while and it doesn't heat up. here is a link I found for EL wire they have a plug and play section for the people who may not know how to do there own wiring http://www.elbestbuy.com/index.html

Wow George----that's using the noodle! Kind of a Terminatrix look to the bio. Thanks for the links folks---this stuff's got a LOT of possibilities.

 

[kwalsh0000]

Great idea. Really brings the bio in a class of its own and looks sweet and not too overdone. That blue lighting would look sweet lighting up a row of bios....mmmmm

Very cool! EL wire is fun stuff. With some additional electronics to control it you can make it do some neat stuff- there's a video here with a link to a neat tutorial-
