I finished a few projects. I built a Retrograde and a Smoothie for a friend to give his son for Christmas and an Azabache for myself. The Smoothie was my first light plate and I made it myself. The led's in the base use the mod for pulsing in time with the effect. I was happy with it. The powder coating is getting better- I pre-heat the enclosures and that does the trick. The Azabache has a dazzling dormant red powder that doesn't show up well in the picture. As always, I used way too much wire.

Here is a little video of the light

I really like the artwork and the light plate fixed to the rate LED was cool. Great job.

I'm really digging your style, very smooth looking.

That looks really cool. I love the graphics on the octavia. Does the light on his little tentacle deal go on and off with the octave?
Very nice, great approach for the artwork. Paint markers?
Thanks. The light isn't an octave indicator. I'm not sure how to do that, but that would be a great feature.
Thanks. They are paint pens, but fairly cheap ones and pretty unpredictable. I just ordered some better ones too see how that goes. I'd use a waterside decal, but I have an inkjet printer and they turn brown when I cook them under a clear coat of powder. I've read that laser decals don't do this, so that's on my list as well as taking a stab at etching.

I love all of these, but I really love that angler fish.
Loving the art!
