Lighting A Farscape DRD

Post by Banshee1000 »

I purchased the 1/2 scale Hunk of Junk Farscape DRD. This kit would be so easy to light the eyes with a huge accessible body cavity for batteries.

I have absolutely no electronic skills! Is there any electric kit that would work well for this and be easy to install (basically ready to go)?

Thank you for your help!

How would I do that, Kyle. Just modify the flashlight by running the wires up through the eyestalks?

Yup. Some might even have the extra wires.

That's so simple it didn't even occur to me! Seriously.

Thank you for your help with this.

'Sokay, I know enough about electricity to get me zapped pretty seriously but by and large I just get by by steeling the guts from other lights.
