I recently finished building this Moebius Green Lantern model. I detailed it with added lighting. The "light beam hand" is illuminated with a white Nano light in Green Lantern's ring and the robot eyes are red Nano lights. I added a simple "T" light for the robot's chest. The model is airbrushed and hand painted with Testor enamel paints. The "hand beam" is painted with Tamiya clear green and clear yellow. This give it less of a toy plastic look. This was a fun kit to build. It really needed the added lighting. Without the lights I felt it was missing something. Its really a nice kit even without lights.

That is really nice.
Re: Detailed Green Lantern with added lights.
Nice... how did you hide the wires for the light to the ring?

Re: Detailed Green Lantern with added lights.
The wires can not be seen with the nano lights on or off. The wires come up through the robot's side and go up along the "hand-beam" (the back side of the model). I drilled a hole into the "hand-beam "were the beam meets GL. I then cut off the plastic rod coming from Green Lantern's ring hand and replaced it with clear plastic rod (that actually goes further into GL's arm for better support). I drilled a hole into the clear rod so the nano light can fit into it. The nano light goes up thru the clear plastic rod and stops right at GL's ring hand. When the light is turned on it looks like the light is coming from GL's ring and it lights up the beamed hand. Sorry if this all sound complicated, because it was.
