Hi folks. After almost a year (off and on) from concept to completion I'm proud to finally show my custom WATCHMEN display case diorama. It is loaded with interactive features such as an MP3 sound system and fully adjustable lighting (ceiling, background and under each character) for any display mood. The base lighting colors under the characters can be changed by remote control. Enjoy!

That is amazing to see.
Does the lighting flicker/flash?

I have been thinking about a lighting lit shadow box to display the Dark Avengers but it is nothing compared to your Watchmen.
That and I have no electronic skills.

Edit: I'd like to buy an "n"... should have been lightning lit shadow box Derr!:facepalm

Thanks, everyone. It was honestly a nightmare from start to finish over the space of a year or so. What started off as a simple replica of the display case shown in the movie became gradually more and more complex as time went on and I came up with more ideas. A lot of things went wrong before things started going right. The results are due to persistence.

The LED lighting underneath the characters does do a few transitional effects to change colors. I'll try to post a video ASAP.
