5 of 8 finished.

Getting there... this is definitely the most tedious part of the project... Finishing the wiring of the base is going to be a bit of work too, but nothing like this.. I should have timed myself to see how many hours this would take, on the other hand, maybe it's better if I don't know.. A rough guess including bending the LEDs, straightening the wire and soldering it together is probably 35-45 hours by the time i'm finished.

Here are a couple more pics
