Stay tuned for my 4 channel remote control light switch tutorial because I'm sure removing that top to turn on the lights is a pain
Looking forward to it. I didn't pick up the HB, but I have many other figures that I want to wire up. I'd rather not drop big $ on multiple soap reactors if I can fashion a home-brew solution that is equally effective. Thanks!
one major thing that bothers me the hulkbusters chest reactor being half covered when fully assembled.
Well this was quite a surprise but it actually fits! and on the top shelf too.

You have enough room to add a base at the bottom which would give you the option to add lights to that instead of at the top.
If you go with the top the wires will be exposed and attaching them to the acrylic would be difficult, and removing the top would be tricky, depending on how you run the wires.
If you make a base you could not only have lights at the bottom but you could also have a couple on tubes to high light his head.

Is that a Cosbaby Hulkbuster? Or what Hulkbuster is that?

Exactly! I'm looking to light up my HT Hulkbuster when it arrives along with my KA Hulkbuster and Mark 43
Getting enough soaps and wires for that would be a big expense just to say look the lights are on lol.
IMO, soap reactors are way over priced and very limited. They basically offer you the ability to turn it on or off
You can get 8 channel remote controlled relay units for less then $15
Each relay can handle up to 10amps so you could, if needed hook several power supplies to the board and power every suit in your collection.
Or you could use a single power supply and jumper it across each relay and then hook up one armor to each relay and turn them on and off individually.
I plan to use a 4 channel to power up the Hulk Buster in stages
Making battery compartment adapters is very easy, if someone had a 3-d printer they could make a fortune printing them.
Personally I plan to solder the wires and run them as internally as possible but not everyone is willing to drill holes in parts and pry off panels to accomplish this but that's ok
I'm with you, I have limited electronics experience but I am considering giving this a go. One other thing I have thought about is Electromagnetic induction (the principle behind some wireless chargers). With a big enough transmitter as a base for the figure it would be really cool if you could run the leds without batteries or wires. The biggest hurdle seems to be that the receiver coils work best when parallel to the transmitter. With something the size of the hulkbuster that "may" be manageable. If only I had the spare time to work on it...
