I've got a few backglasses that I want to hang on the wall, and I thought it would look cool to backlit them.
I built one frame, and I thought it turned out fairly well.
But, most of my backglasses are showing their age, and I'm wondering if it is worth building frames for the remaining backglasses.

The Fireball II looks decent.
But my Strikes and Spares, I think looks a bit worse backlit. Some of the other glasses have a lot of cracks that look worse when backlit.

So the question is, should I go ahead and backlight these, or just get a normal frame and hang them.

You can see on the fireball some paint is missing on the left side, and it looks ok.
But the girls leg has cracks running through it, that just doesn't look good. It looks ok when not backlit, bit the light just really shows off the cracks.
I had another glass I was considering, and at first I thought the cracks were lightning (it fit the theme) but realized they were cracks. But they are hard to see when not backlit.

I do have a repro Fathom I was planning on selling, but maybe I'll just backlit it instead.
I'll go ahead and do my translites that I have. But I think I might just do a simple frame for the older glasses. They'll be lighter.

The FirePower one is the one that had what I thought was lightning.
The target alpha is another I was going to backlight, and it looks pretty decent. Except you can see the cracks in the guy on the left, and the girl on the right.
