Thanks T. I'll have those pics tomorrow morning(my time). I'm doing the visor now, blacking out the inside and also adding the green ELwire!!!!I hope it looks as good in reality as it does in my head bro. Fingers crossed.

Thanks BCM. I'm hoping to get into the garage tomorrow for more armor work. The lid has come along nicely over the last week so now it's time to get some armor work in.
I've fitted my ELwire, visor and a little more paint to the lid now. Pictures late but as promised.
ELwire with lights off, not as bright as I remember when I tested them a few weeks ago. I think it's down to the batteries I used for these pics aren't new, I swiped them from the TV remote! LOL!
ELwire with lights on.
Lid with visor and new killstripes!!
Really pleased with it so far, yet it's still not finished.
I've also started on my leg armor. I opted out of card/fibreglass for them. I picked up two waste paper bins from Wilkos(Wilkinsons, it's a UK store) for 75p each!! Used my templates to draw them out on the bins and cut them out. They look pretty grat so far and I may be ready to paint them tomorrow!! No pics yet though, sorry.

Thanks again T_Bone. I only wired the upper part of the visor just like the RC lids. Though there was enough for me to go right around. I just didn't want it to be too much ya know?
I think it'd be cool to see more customs with EL in them. Lots of different colors to choose from.
Glad you like the killstripes mate, I'm painting the mandables today.

Ok, another small update. I painted a sort of tusk design onto the mandables, I originally planned on a white to black gradient effect, but opted out after realising I had no white spray left.
Though, now I've done it I prefer this look anyway. I also painted the RF with the same colors as the rest of the lid. Still more to do but it's very nearly here now.
