The Union's answer to that pesky Confederate tank
Gentlemen,
New revelations in the continuing saga of the hi-tech Civil War. Magically the answer to the Union's perdicament appeared in the form of a Patriot Missile 131 years in the future. Now wheres that tank.
Thank you everyone for the great comments...mixing the Civil War with fantasy / fiction is a blast, comming up with outragious land vehicles for that time period. I was actually looking for a tank for the Union, but this Patriot Missile looked so narly, I had to have it. I'll probably continue with more tanks. Thanks again everyone.
Ubique...The effect is really quite simple. The light source is an orange LED. Actually a string of orange LEDS, but only 3 lights are used and the rest of the string is hidden, covered in white cotton balls gives the effect of orange/yellow light. Being the Halloween season you can buy a string of these orange lights for under $3.00.
Fantastic stuff love that light effect!
