The second one, now that I've figured out with the airbrush, nozzle diameter, paint, paint quantities, thinning and cleaning, it's going better. I should stick to fool proof products, like my daughter water colors and colored pencils. One panel went to the bin as I couldn't fix the cracks on the clear coat, tried everything. The big lens is also what will be missing in my SD studios HAL panel, and I don't have a grand or 2 to spare with to purchase a vintage nikkor fish eye. I need to find some magnifiers with the right diameter. The lenses are made out of acrylics globes (michael's) and they really suck. The goal is to put a sound board in there and some more goodies to make it functional.įor $60-ish the kit is ok for a decorative item. Laser cut parts, I had to drill all the speaker grid (which is flat). They aren't bad, but I think they aren't 1:1 scaled. Then I managed to score 2 cheap HAL kits from a RPF member (gordon gekko). Then I thought it would be awesome to have one at the entrance of the movie room in the basement, to eventually control the access (for real or fake). Then I started thinking about that computer era, I stumbled upon some HAL 9000 replica from space odyssey and I thought it would be cool to add one on the PDP panel. Talking with a coworker about the PDP-10 (or 11) that is in the IT office, we're thinking about reviving it with leds, lights etc. In the recent trades I did with the lawgiver project, I tried to grab several nice props replica.
