Glowing Firefly

Basic front panel with some bright LEDs hooked up behind it. This was the first idea before the Buffy one, both look very cool IRL.

Used a range of techniques to get the welded metal look. Used both brown "forged hammered" metal and finished lightly with very shiny "brilliant" gold while it was wet.

Then did 3 cut passes the first 2x passes about 20cm away from the material to get that really burnt cut/welded look.

Then constructed trivial box behind it and hooked up super bright LEDs.
