Mr. Head



It finally arrived and the quality is AWESOME!!!!!!
It's the Palpatine head I bought on Ebay for $50.00.
There's a couple of guys selling these and one guy is always in the hundreds.
It is a hollow cast, Which I was hoping it would be and it's well made.
I will be buying more of these for future projects.

Backlit Poster




I had a hard time trying to get a decent picture of this thing.
It is on in both pictures and the camera really doesn't like the dark,
But you get the idea.

Scrubby's Stand Cont.



Scrubby's stand is almost finished.
All I need now is for the paint to dry and then I can wire up the Vex controller.
This will be the "Drive a Droid" at MegaCon so all the kids can enjoy him.
Next is to work on the 2x4 boundary, So he can't leave the area.

Scrubby's Stand




Please excuse the mess in our work room, But we managed to get the stand build
for Scrubby's Vex remote. Tomorrow I will paint the yellow lines on the stand
and it will look like Scrubby.
Brenda stained the trim for our backlit movie poster today also.
She chose mahogany red for the stain and it will get a satin clear coat.

Another Small Project



Brenda bought me the sign a few years back and I wasn't sure what
I would use it for back then, But now I do.
I made a new frame for it and will dress it similar to the large backlit
frame.
This one will not be backlit, I may add some lighting to the inside the box
so it shows up better later.

Lights for the box


I installed the backlight in the box and I know it does'nt look all that great.
But the rope light is LED and will use less power and keep the heat down
inside the box.
I've tested the lights with the poster and it's more than enough light.

Side Project - Movie Poster Box


Something I allways wanted and I finally got the chance to build it.
It's not finished, But it's on the way.
It will be backlit and the 2 sided poster will be the Clone Wars.
I plan to bring it to MegaCon and place it beside Crissy's Goldie.
