It was in the same section as the flashlights. I am headed there now for my daily fix, so I will get the SKU for you in about 20 minutes

Thanks!

Here are 2 shots for scale. The whole enclosure is about 2" x 2" x 3/4"

The light only cost $4.50. It comes with 2 batteries (3V CR2032) that will run for "over 10 hours of continuous use". The reason that I posted this is because there is only one piece to buy. You do not have to buy any LEDs or resistors and don't have to worry about cramming huge battery packs...

I was in Home Depot the other day and came across a small 4 bulb LED flashlight that clips on the brim of your hat to provide extra light where you are working, so I snatched it up. To make a long story short, I got home, opened the case and added "extension cords" to the LEDs. The wires are...

Sorry, new to me.

Hopefully this isn't a repost, but has anyone seen these products? http://www.buycostumes.com/Halo-3-Master-C...ductDetail.aspx http://www.celebrateexpress.com/celebratio...aspx?sku=287781 The description says that they are licensed products. Anyone know anything about this?

Apparently Murphy's Law owns me! I told everyone that I would post new pictures yesterday, but it hasn't stopped raining for 2 days, so sunlight shots aren't going to happen until it stops. I tried to take pictures indoors of a piece of styrene that was painted the same way, but the pearl is...

It is an automotive paint company, called House of Kolor, and the paint that I used is from their line of model car painting products. They offer most of the colors in a spray can or ready to airbrush jar.

I guess it is kind of funny that my member # is 157, and starting this thread was my 3rd post since joining. Do not fear, I have been documenting a few different aspects of my armor construction to post as tutorials, so I am sure that everyone in the 405th will be tired of seeing my name soon...

The only size can that they have is 4oz, but they were on clearance for $2, so I went back and got the other 8 cans that were left.

Yeah, it's in the airbrush section next to the low-rider models :)

For $5.50, and in less than 5 minutes, you too can paint your Master Chief monkey suit almost the exact same green-pearl as portrayed by the McFarlane action figure and the H3 legendary helmet! I was at WalMart earlier this evening and found a can of "Kustom Kolor, Pearl Color Coat, Limetime...
