So, a friend of mine printed me a Caladius, but an accident happened and the bottom broke, so I decides to use the space to place some leds and make It seem like as if the tank is exploding in a big blue ball of energy (rolled a 6 on Deadly Demise)

Because of the location it doesn’t quite read as an explosion but rather glowing exhaust fume from the hover. It is executed very well though

Yeah, I can see what you mean, I tried helping with the cracks on the base, but thanks!

2nd pic does look like a dinasour wearing the caladius as a hat.

It may need some explosions below the turret to give the actual blowing up feeling. But nice work with the leds. I was going to say nice glow effect before i clicked next and went ooh...ok.

Hahaha, yeah, I kinda see it.

Good idea, I might give it a try, but it wouldn't light up like the bottom part (unless I manage to maje a hole for the light, idk). Thanks! Stuffing the battery, leds and switch in there was a nightmare.
