Minor Mod - Legend Rider Series Kamen Rider Garren Buckle (Belt)

Modified the LRS Blade Blay Buckle into the Garren Buckle (Belt)... because my little nephew likes KR Garren more than KR Blade... Hahahaha.... And since I am NOT prepared to  spend USD50 on a DX Garren Belt, I asked him if it is OK I "destroy" the LRS Blade Belt to become the Garren one, he agreed in 2 seconds...

So I opened up the buckle and replaced the red LED with a green one (last one I have, luckily still have). Was supposed to be an simple and easy task (for me) to remove and solder the LED, but seems my not-so-good luck still persists, always manage to screw up somehow.... anyway, manage to get the green LED soldered after some time...

Then I used a silver paint-pen and painted over the red colour on the buckle before using a green marker to paint over. Very tough as there are a lot of small little voids and hard-to-reach places, even for the fine tip of the marker. Also, the green marker ink somehow could not stay on the protruding details, so decided to paint these silver (see pictures below).

Finally, manage to cut a piece of thin polystyrene to the diamond shape and used a big piece of reflective-gold "sticker" sheet to cover the styrene. The whole thing is then glued (with super-glue) into place. Done!!!! Rare piece of Legend Rider Series KR Garren Buckle (Belt) is borned!!!! Hahahaha...


Picture below is used to show the green LED light when lit...

Sigh... my DX KR Faiz belt strap cracked and tore... due to my carelessness when trying to keep it inside the gearbox/briefcase... And after many attempts, manage to glue it back, though it looks very ugly now... Don't know why but it just seem to hate going back to its original place when gluing, so now the crack lines are VERY visible... sigh... anyway, have ordered some silver belts and such in TaoBao.com, so will mod the belts again when they arrive... Yeap, also gotten some for my nephew's mini KR OOO belt and micro KR Fourze belt...
