Final Fantasy XIII - Lightning's Pauldron

Here is what I had to make:





I had to buy 5mm el wire and a battery box to make the glowing yellow bands in the character's shoulder pauldron. (The character being Lightning from the as-yet-unfinished Final Fantasy 87 Million.) Here's what the finished armor looks like:



Here's the same pic taken with no flash (so you can see the glowy bits better:)



And here's what it looks like with the lights off:



(Oooooh.)

The glow wire has a tiny battery pack which I tucked into a styrene and foam band that I hotglued to the underside of the armor.
