I created this for a Fallout fan. The Vault Boy Led Light.
It's made out of acrylic glass and a wooden base with green Led's.

First I created the Vault Boy in Inkscape. I used 3 mm cast Acrylic glass to laser the Vault Boy
In Qcad and Inkscape I created the base, It's made out of 4 mm plywood. and then glued together. In one of the parts, 4 nuts are inserted. They are used to screw the cover on it.
The 2 files are attached here. I'm working with Qcad and Inkscape

Here are the 4mm plywood laser cuts
Starting with part 1. Use four 20mm M3 Screws like on the picture. Wood glue on the part and then place part 2 on it.
Again use wood glue and then part 4. Here use three M3 nuts and screw all together. And again use glue on part 3 and 5.
Use a clamp to hold all together.
After the glue is dry, glue part 6 on it and use a weight to press all down.
Now screw the bottom part 7 on it, and sand it with sandpaper.

Painting the base with blue acrylic color mixed with water. After drying use bronze acrylic and tap on the corners of the base to give it a metallic look. Let it dry.
Now use a black acrylic color with a lot of water and paint it on the base, wait a few minutes and tap with kitchen paper on it to remove it from the surface. Now you have a nice washing effect.
Again let it dry.
Now paint two layers of acrylic varnish on it and sand it again. To finish pass a last layer of varnish on it.

For the electronic I use my self developed PCB's.
Parts used:
- 4 Resistors 220R
- 4 LED's 3mm green4
- 1 Micro USB breakout board
- 1 Micro switch
- 1 laser cut switch cap
A breadboard can be used to replace my PCB board
The Program I use is DipTrace
Now screw the bottom (part 7) with four 16mm M3 screws on the base and finished.

And here the finished item and NO, it's not 3 meter high, but the room is a miniature I'm working on :)
I hope you enjoyed my instructable.
