I wonder if 3/4" or 1" thick plexiglass like the stuff found here: http://www.estreetplastics.com/ could be used as a CP. Then you just add a light inside like a lightbox. Or get your overlay printed with glow in the dark paper or ink |

Sardu - Maybe you should have a signature that says, "Not THAT Sardu" If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up NESticle, Genecyst, and Callus. (Oh, and Bloodlust Software) |

Good suggestions guys, although I was thinking along the following lines and using a lighted ON or OFF system. Check this stuff out: http://www.elbestbuy.com/2hibrperfo.html It would require me cutting a 2.3mm groove in the lightning bolts using some sort of dremel or router (very careful is the word!) :) but then I could turn ON or OFF as needed. I also like the fact that I am not using a BLACKLIGHT - those things get into your eyes and bother you I seem to recall, but maybe not. Ah the choices are endless and will certainly take time to work thru testing the options! As a side note, the link above also sells this LIVE TRACK system which really looks cool to add around the cabinet for detailing. http://www.elbestbuy.com/newlwimosy.html |

Anyway, been using "Sardu" from "Bloodsucking Freaks" movie on various sites, games, etc, since '98. ;D |

Have a look at some of the work here- http://electroluminescence-inc.com/howtouseEL.htm The tape is going to be much flatter and would fit between the artwork and Plexi rather easily... |
