Skullbeast - building a Cylon

Post by Skullbeast » Wed Feb 29, 2012 10:51 am

I used an acrylic lens that I cut from flat stock. I ground the inside concave to shake the squareness of the light. The lens face was coated with rosco red ( comparable to 027 gel) sprayed, two coats. I also used a paper towel ( high tech) to be my temporary diffusion.
My problem now is the shape over all with my scanner and holder. I may try, to point the LEDs down also. ( I know you said that about the lights Dale)

I found the one in the blue box, it's real close but a no go. An hour later I found this. I hope the scale is right, I ordered 5.

Very good. I'll update the file when we get the size, and then rock and roll! :cylon: :erk:

Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple. ;)

99% + 2,000! Great work Skullbeast.

Damn. I'd market them G&M battery belts. What is anyone going to say. Use the small print * next to the description.

Dale. Do you have dimensions for that rib extension connector? The flat stock. I seemed to have misplaced the measurements I had.
