After sitting idle on this project trying to decide if I was going to wire the body any more I decided to go ahead and move forward with lighting the head and backpack. to do this I hollowed out the body and parts of the backpack so they just snap together with magnets to hold them. Then I drilled up into the head socket and then the neck/visor of the head so it will snap on with magnets as well. then I removed the back coils and drilled thru to those as well.

Next I tested replacing those coils with clear aquarium tubing. For lights I first went with flickering LEDs but they did not shine up enough so I wound up using solid ones with a flicker inline to have them pulse a bit.

With everything prepped it’s on to painting.
