I was mainly interested in seeing how suitable this will also be for a lighting upgrade, but it&#8217;s a kit I&#8217;ve been waiting for anyway for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>The kit arrived yesterday and my first impressions were wow! It&#8217;s big! Second impression was wow! There&#8217;s a lot of parts! it&#8217;s going to be fun putting this together as it was just polybagged with no instructions, but hey, we all love a challenge!<\/p>\n<p>The head does have a bit of space inside, but not much. The eye slot is about twice the size\u00a0of the one on the Raider so will need more and\/or larger LEDs which may make the assembly of a module somewhat easier. The very top of the head serves as a nice hatch into the headspace so it should be possible to assemble most of the kit beforehand. I have a few ideas about the batteries. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some pictures of the sprues &#8211; the base is 10&#8243; by 6&#8243; to give you an idea of the size.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-201\" title=\"Sprue1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue1-300x280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue1-300x280.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue1-321x300.jpg 321w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue1.jpg 749w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-202\" title=\"Sprue2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue2-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue2-300x201.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue2-447x300.jpg 447w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-203\" title=\"Sprue3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue3-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue3-300x215.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue3-417x300.jpg 417w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-204\" title=\"Sprue4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue4-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue4-300x201.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue4-447x300.jpg 447w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205\" title=\"Sprue5\" src=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue5-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue5-300x177.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue5-500x296.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.antsnest.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Sprue5.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frank Winspur, Moebius CSO was very gracious in offering me a pre-release test-shot of the forthcoming Cylon Centurion kit in exchange for one of my Raider lighting modules!
