A very BE"A"Mish creation.
PS looks like one of the bugs from Heinlein's Star Ship Troopers (the

all together in a "model city" RJP, add toy soldiers, some pyrotechnics, a
script, a webcam and you got lights, action - Beam Warriors (the web
movie).
have fun

Epoxy can be removed with heat, but you would most likely mess up the
solarpanel. How big are those solar cells? I imagine they are on the big
side.
