Same CAD time, same CAD channel

I like making stuff in Solidworks, and then machining it.  Occasionally, I even make things for other people.  Such is the case here.  I made a night light for a friend who is a bigger Batman fan than I am.  I started by drawing the pieces in Solidworks:
Then I machined them.  The bat is clear polycarbonate, the box is aluminum, and the base is an off the shelf GE 11375 automatic night light base.  The front of the bat is covered in black chrome vinyl so light doesn't show through the front, but reflects off the back. 



It's not as bright as I was hoping, but it works OK.
