Dazza, that's not enough, go back and get some more! LOL!
Nice scores; I'll be looking forward to seeing these started. Are you gonna light some of them up?

The TB5 comes with a motor to rotate the top part and a little light on top. I've already made the motor up as that's the most complex part of the kit. It was my intention to get lights for the B9 Robot but unfortunately here in the UK the lighting kits seems non existent, which is disappointing as I do like models that do something. |

There are vendors, who make up lighting kits. You could try and make your own.

There are many sources and tutorials, as well as vendors who sell lighting, on Youtube.

I also have no clue when it comes to lighting a model. However, I do plan on lighting the eyes of my Death Dealer model once I get it started.
Good luck getting a lighting kit for that robot. I would love to see it light up as I also love models that do something.

Wouldnt have been a problem if Maplins hadn't folded  |
