Ugh. Bad news. I just finished it, put it ALL together, was testing it throughout the process, it was working, yay yay. Put the battery in and screw down the hatch. Flip the switch... And nothing. I took the whole thing back apart, and I cant see a single flaw in any of the solder joints. *Sighs* But at least I know the problem is somewhere in the switch area, since I can jump a battery between LED's and the whole thing lights up. Maybe I need to remake that blasted switch again. *sighs* I'm so sorry that this has taken so long Celtic. I really am. I'm trying my best now that I have time, but all this stuff has to happen. >> for now, have some pics I guess.... T_T EDIT: ...uh. further experimentation reveals that the problem lies in the battery pack, and not in the rest of the zoid. Thank GOD. ^^; Now I just need to get a new pack, and it should be good, okay Celtic? I'm sorry T_T Oh, and also... I am deeply sorry, but the thing is no longer seamless. ^^; I did have a little trouble trying to fit all the stuff in, so the case does'nt quite fit together as well as it did. There are gaps. I hope you don't mind... This is where I was about to give up for the night. ^^; *drumroll* IT LIVVVESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! (with external power source ^^ ...and now you get to see what I mean by GAP. ^^; So uh. Yeah. Besides the thing surviving on external life support, and it being a little lopsided, I think its okay. I really hope you like it, Celtic, since I needed to get 10 stitches in my hand thanks to that blasted hobby knife XD;;;

Yikes, lighting sounds like a dangerous process! Stiches and singes and all sorts of ouches. Sorry, Itty... Ah, that seam's nothing some blinker-tape couldn't fix. Looks like Kirkland's the same colour as blinker tape anyway.
