Daddy did some serious work today...took me about four hours designing, laying it out, soldering, etc. It's a total of 16 leds in the chest piece and eight in the hand pieces all running on a 9 volt battery. I'm really proud of this and my kid was in hysterics when he saw it all...btw, shit is BRIGHT!

The costume which was store bought ($10!) and altered by mommy:

Chest piece back before being siliconed and adding another piece to protect him from getting poked:

This is in my completely dark garage and I'm on the other side taking the pic (this is only the chest piece, not the hand pieces):

All the pieces together while the silicone dries:

The chest piece in the costume...I'm amazed at how well my wife lined everything up:

She's working on the gloves for his hand pieces now so I'll add pics later.

Yeah...the worst part about it is the fit he has when it's time to take it off.
