 I had this idea in my mind for sometime, today was the day to work it out :)
I needed a neat light setup, Coins, a toy that I can stick on the coins and second light system.
First I found out that we ran out of coins, My wife and I had to go to 4 different stores to collect these coins. The toy was a problem, My wife and I bought 4 Kinder Surprise Eggs, and the toys were completely unusable. 4 different Dollarama stores till we found this one. And another four to get the coins. 8 in total.
I used a napkin sheet on the top of my wife`s laptop, as mine still in repair as you can see from the previous entry. To have some lights coming from beneath, changed the wall paper to something blue. Then I ended up hating the napkin, so I removed the napkin and placed the coins on the top of the LCD, My wife was about to kill me for that :)
Now tried to glue Bart, to find out that the super glue I have is dry and I am out of glue, run and get glue stick, after few tries, and a drink, that you can see in Bart`s hand, Bart agreed to stand still. I needed another light to cast over the coins, got my torch, to find out I am out of batteries ¢£¤¬¼²½²¤ --- Ran and got another set of batteries. Total 31 capture till I liked this one. The original Image looks much better than this one due to the high compression in the web version.

I hope you like it.
Cheers,
