Hi,
I have been experimenting with electrical applications in klickies and came up with a nun with illuminating eyes, as if she was posessed by a diabolic force.
For these pictures I used a model railroad transformer, but I am working on using lithium cells that can be hidden.

;D Very clever idea !I What did you do to her eyes?
It works beautifully. I can´t wait to see the battery version!
Now we need the ghost story.
Can she flash as well? Do Morse? Mesmerise? Light us home on a foggy night? ;D
Thanks for sharing,

I used a tiny light bulb inside the head and fitted the drilled-out eyes with light conducting wire.

Who knows... ;D (hmmm, the lighthouse nun :lol: )

Hello, matchboxluc ...
I've added lights to the original Playmobil electric trains, but never thought about electrifying my Klickys. Really cool idea ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/worshippy.gif)
;D Very clever idea ! ... Can she flash as well? ...

Only Mr. G would think of turning a nun into a "flasher" ... :lol:
All the best,

Very spooky and scaring with the glowing eyes. Since it is a none, it is even more scary :o Great job!! ;D
-
Great effect! :)9
I love it! ;D
She would make a cool centerpiece for a Halloween display. 8-)

That's an interesting custom, mbl.
It's given me an idea for working torches for the firefighters!
-
Highly creative and extrememly well executed
I am not sure I want to meet her on a dark and stormy knight
But, I can imagine several ways to exploit her talent. >:D
-
I'll bet the kids in her classroom behave! :o
Excellent application...you are amazing!
-
I am not sure I want to meet her on a dark and storny knight
I think the knight might agree with you! ;D

Good catch, Gordon! That's worth a kudo ... :lol:
All the best,

Cool! Very cool idea. You just also have to change her mouth/lips so that she became more mysterious or frightened ...

I used a different body now for the nun and it is now battery operated. I wanted to use a switch to turn the eyes on and off and found that the lithium cell version, although electrically sound, would be for now too complex to incorporate a switch. So with the use of a modified ancient lego (yes, I know) battery box (which has a switch already) I managed to make a working unit with a 9V battery.

Hmmm ... ^-^
It would appear, matchboxluc, that Lego may be stealing your ideas ... ;)
Lego's new Police Sation (7237) has a lighted figure!

It would be interesting to see how they are getting power to the police officer's flashlight.
However, we must stop Lego from discovering all of our secrets ... :o
All the best,
Richard

Is the flashlight removable from the hand of the policeman?
If not, then my idea would be to stick a tiny watch/cell battery into the body of the lego figure.

JL,
Great progress on a very cool idea

Cool... I like her... I don't think there is anything scary with her...
This is an amazing custom matchboxluc...
She is just literally doing her job, isn't she? ;)
Bringing light into the dark...
Showing the path...
Guiding the way...
;D
