Being a huge WoW fan, Bolvar's Hammer is a weapon I instantly fell in love with and just HAD to build. It lights up, can switch between different color modes, has a motion sensor build in and even creates smoke. I used 451 LEDs in total, it weights 2.3 kg and took me and my husband around 150 hours to build. It's a really cool project and I really hope you like the tutorial video!
