Lego Case

[Tarjei85]

@Tarjei85 - Yeah that is a bit of  a cheat but yah I see what you have going on there now, its no less impressive.  The close in looks great, though you loose what, every other LED?  I was thinking you could use 1x1 translucent bricks and then pop a solid color brick between them so that the LED's each have there own window.  I dont know if it would be just a 1x1x1/3 for each led or two of them per, and your right not everyone has a tonne of legos.  So your technicolor build is acceptable.  TBH I have not bought too many bricks to use specifically on this project, maybe 10-15% BUT I have to admit I am running low on 1xYx1/3 bricks or plates as they are sometimes refered to.  So, I may start purchasing more if I need too, or start using another color.  I have yellow but most of them are small.

@CaptainZalo - My wife groans everytime I take out the Lego's and thats JUST for this project.  I don't take them out often these days, but she doesn't get anything I do, the computer stuff, games, Lego, SCA, Anime,  we see eye to eye on most philosophical matters and a lot of political ones, most parenting ones as well.  I love my wife dearly but she is not a geek, and while she does enjoy most of what I can do when it comes to repairing things around the house, cooking, cleaaning, sewing, she doesn't care for the clutter electronics, computers, and well any tinkering really can create.  I tell her I am pretty damned organized for how much I do, and how much I have, and show her pictures of others benches and she just grumbles something about dump trucks and walks away AHAHAHAHA!!!!

If I had enough translucent blocks I would have done it like you said, but unfortunately im short like 50 blocks.
