T-800 modified base with holes and lid for 2 AAA batteries
I modified the base of this T-800 model making a hole where you can install AAA batteries and a battery holder that will power up the LED lights and connect to the On/OFF switch.
Soon I will post a link to a tutorial video here showing how I did all the painting, finishing and LED installation on this model.
Here are the materials I used for installing the LED lights that you see in the pictures:
