Thanks guys! Appreciate the vote of confidence.  It was a fun build.

[Old Wombat]

Somehow I missed that this was finished.

Nice job! Simple & clean.

I decided this one also needed my (now) standard project base... so a bit of cotten, some hairspray ans a touch of pain... voilá, instant stormclouds.

I'm not quite sure I'm sold on the lightning, but it's growing on me.  The stand needs a bit of work, but that's just a bit of fussing and fidgeting.

[strobez]

I didn't really like how the wire lightning was turning out, and then I remembered I have a million LEDs lying around...

[comrade harps]

Neat!

And I love those black Red markings 

[zenrat]

Do the LEDs flicker randomly?
And if they do, is it intentional or did you use zenrat's guide to doing your own wiring? 

[NARSES2]

The addition of those LED's is just so ingenious

What and where is 'zenrat's guide to doing your own wiring' please?

I haven't seen it, but I'm pretty sure it starts with "well, first give your fingers a good lick..." 

Unfortunately the light doesn't flicker. It could be done, but it was more work than I was willing to put into it.

[TheChronicOne]

Awesome!!!  That is too cool, I love it.....

Get it translated then. There are numerous countries around the world, going by some hotels I've stayed in, where it would be perfectly acceptable 

[VickersVandal]

That is off the hook! 

Such a simple but effective base too.
