Hi, I'm not sure if this is actually thread-worthy and I know everyone here must be tired of Iron Man at this point but, well too bad ;) I wanted to share this anyway.

Just needed a quick costume to wear to a con last weekend and I hadn't made anything that lights up in a while :)

The outer ring is aquarium hose with LEDs placed inside and string wrapped around, the center is a single LED in a flashlight reflector with a paper cutout on top. The whole thing in encased in the bottom of a bottle of Panda Express brand sauce ... hey I told you it was cheap. Box of scraps, right?

Great ingenuity. :) You would have done well in our Dollar Store Arc Reactor contest a while back. :thumbsup

As far as "tired of Iron Man" goes although I do suffer from Iron Man fatigue I love seeing clever things like this. Nice work.
