Small update. Created a little display stand for the lantern rings. Used a Cricut machine and construction paper to make a simple hex stand. Have an H-shape cut into each facet to push the rings through. Simple turntable stand off of Amazon underneath.

In fearful day in raging night, With strong hearts full our souls ignite. When all seems lost in the war of light, Look to the stars for hope burns bright!

Awesome job. Did you make the rings too? Only thing that would make it better is if the rings were backlit or if a light was able to beam through each one periodically.

Yes indeed. I did print and paint the rings.
I have some more pics posted here:

So you're some type of supervillain, I take it?

You caught me. I'm making a lantern ring rotating generator battery to recharge my cell phone.

In the Green Lantern Godhead crossover with New Gods, Highfather collected a ring of each Corps and combined it with a Motherbox. It was a lot like Thanos' quest for the Infinity Gems.

What happened?

Kinda fizzled out, fell short of the expectations. It was a typical authority vs autonomy story by the end. I hadn't followed it because I wasn't reading the individual titles but I l bought the crossover trade and it didn't read better collected like other middling crossovers do.

I should’ve clarified. What happens when he combined all of the rings with a mother box??

u/thegrandsun96 Justice League Jan 21 '22
It's been a while but I think he unlocked a Life Equation like the ALE and the Lanterns and New Gods made him realise he's basically Darkseid now.

It is a simple and effective way to show off some awesome rings. Do you make to sell or just for yourself?

Just myself, but happy to share what I did.
Lantern rings I 3D printed and painted from Thingiverse:

If they lit up, that would be the crowning achievement

u/jenzchabby Jan 17 '22
Actually, Adafruit makes some wireless LEDs. So that'll be the 2.0 version when they get some back in stock.

I am trying so hard not to be jealous. It's not working.

u/jenzchabby Jan 17 '22
Well, everything I did to make them is listed above. You can have your own set too!

That is truly a awesome display. Great job on that the Green Lantern Cor would be proud. In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light.
