My Awesome LED Cube (Allspark)

Well, I was one of the first people in Darwin to see the new Transformers movie, 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen', and let me tell you, it is by far one of the greatest movies I have ever seen in my life. And, basically, through a couple of favors, I was able to get a seat. To say thanks to the great manager at the local cinemas I am good friends with, I have built this cube. Note: I have done a lot of things for this person, I may put a few up as slideshows soon.

Anyway, I got the idea from This Instructable, but didn't want to plagiarize, so I changed a few things. First of all, I used two LED's, which also fade. Also, I made my cube larger, around 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. Finally, I only used sheet metal as a base, and a soda can as the metal 'Armour', if you wish.

Finally, before we begin, one last note; I didn't realise how awesome this would turn out, so I took very few pictures. I will definitely be making another.

So, get your tools out and lets begin!!!

Step 1 Tools And Materials

Basically, You will need a few simple things.

Materials:
- Plexiglass
- 2 x Colour-Changing LED's ( I got mine here. They are pretty expensive, but worth it)
- Solder (Tool Or Material?)
- Aluminium. I used some nice sheet type for the base, however the panel designs are from a soda can.

Tools:
- Soldering Setup. (Iron, sponge, sucker, stand, etc. You know the drill)
- Hacksaw to cut the plexiglass with.
- Tin snips. Worked well for the can and the plate alloy.

That's about it. Lets get started!

Good instructable but Revenge of the Fallen was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.  But it's just my opinion.
