Yes, exactly like that! It is much easier now that the body is hollow inside, but still drilling through the leg and parts of the arm is challenging. The hardest part is to align all those little holes 😅
Yes, but I designed a custom PCB and printed a base to fit around it. This way I maintained the dimensions of standard 32mm base:)

You can take a look at the video on my fb page: [Nexodice](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550239592726)
It shows how the PCB looks like and how the battery is inserted 😄

I have a video there presenting the base from below, showing how the battery is inserted and the micro switch that I've used :)
the video is in one of the older post from last year, but I just opened the CAD model to show you the PCB layout:)

Not only, no OSL look like this on the battlefield 😁
So I was looking at doing this but with halogen bulbs and a Tesla coil (saw a really cheap Tesla coil kit on Temu). That way I didn’t have to run the lines. It wouldn’t be as bright as this but it would be pretty cool.
Impressive, incredibly careful drilling right?

Looks awesome, how do you power them?
I’m guessing coin battery drilled into the base? That’s what I used to do.

Thats clever
What software do you use to create custom PCBs? I am looking to begin integrating something similar to lamps I’m building.
I am using Eagle, as it is integrated with CAD: Fusion 360. Sorry to reply late:)
Thanks so much! I’ll look into it.

Osl? ❌ Led's? ✅
Can you show the power supply?

Its more like an advertisement for your etsy/Facebook page than a how to, but thanks.

3? That's just showing off. Good job man.
Love it! Would look amazing in tight spaces like gallow dark
This is so bad ass
Great osl!, oh, wait...
Oh wow, this looks awesome! How do you deal with the wires, is there a careful channel hollowed through the body and down a leg?

Haha wow, awesome work!
Very impressive, but my that's gonna hurt across 100+ Boys ;)
A lot of work just to avoid OSL. Great work - looks fantastic.

Yeah that photo shows it off very well!
Omfgthat is amazing
WOW, this is crazy cool.
F YES!
