Mega Man Costume

Step 9Mega Man's Mega Buster (LED's)

Mega Man\
Tools:
Drill, Drill Bits
Soldering Iron
Glue Gun
Materials:
6 Yellow LED's
Bright Red LED
Wire
Solder
Switch
3 @ 10 Ohm Resistors
Battery Pack
Shrink Tube
Electrical Tape
Hot Glue Sticks

So I again used this write up as reference for creating the Mega Buster. First I cut holes in the bottom of the extra small bowl that was going to hold the bright red LED for the PEW, PEW, PEW side of things. Threaded the leads through and hot glued the LED in place.

Next I took the handle and drilled 6 sets of holes for the yellow LED's. Threaded the leads through the holes, then bent the leads off to the side. Since I was running the lights in parallel I was able to just run a bared wire along the side tying together all the positive leads (repeating for the negative leads).

Then I wired both of these up to the switch, resistors, and battery pack. Using shrink tubing to cover up all the wires.

I then used hot glue to get the LED's secured, then covered up the bare wiring with black electrical tape. I set it aside as I now had to do some sewing.

One question... Does the red LED go on the inside of the bowl and the cover made with the bottom of the other small bowl on the inside, covering the LED or..... Does it go on the outside of the bowls bottom and the cover from the other small bowl just go on as an extra cover to lessen the deepness of the bowl made barrel?
