    The red makes it look badass :D. But you should go with RGB-LEDs so you can choose whatever color, whenever you want.

    Using all three would be awesome, but if I had to pick one, it would be red.

    Sweet armor-plated goodness!:D
    I think you should use a combination of red, orange, and yellow LEDs to simulate fire.

    #1 this looks freaking awesome! There's no way I'd be able to decide between LED colors. I'd be trying to get RGB LED's in there and tie them into some sort of controller so you can...
    or anything else you can think of. You could even use something like this for the LED's and they apparently have controllers for them too. I promise I'm not trying to advertise for these people. I've just been staring at these things since I saw them at a home and garden show.

    Either way now that Cheapskate has said it, I think that at the very least you need to figure out how to
    I think we could all agree that this would be very much awesome.

    wow, it's not even finished and already it looks great! Nice work :)

    I voted for white lights - the design is the main feature so I reckon light to accentuate the design - subtle, white - not light to distract from it.

    I look forward to seeing the final build.
