This was a commission based on my previous two versions and the person who asked for it requested that little be changed. However, I did change the antennas somewhat so they’re skinnier and found a good way to blend the battery box into the body so it looks sleeker. Of course the person who had me build it has backed out of our deal and so it’s been seeing some action at the last few events and is now waiting for a new owner…

Then again it’s so fun to use I’m not sure if I want to let it go.

It’s a color-changing LED mounted behind semi-clear lexan. The LED fades through colors like blue\>green\>red and then flashes those colors before starting over again. I have seen similar ones at Radio Shack, but they’re not cheap. The ones I use I bought in bulk on Ebay. If you search for them I believe they’re called “Fast Fade” or “Fast Flash” as there is another kind that just slowly fades between colors and does not flash.
