Nice piece Old Man!!! You've got Brenda buying stuff like this now. She bought a poster of the new movie and I'll have to make a backlit frame for it. Calvin
Is the poster double sided? True theater ones are printed with the reverse image on the back side so they can be backlit and the images doesn't wash through.
I actually made a poster frame/breaker box cover for my last theater..and used a rope light inside it to backlight it. It was spotty with the lights..so I wouldn't recommend that.
Yep, It's double sided theater quality. I've been looking at sites that have tutorials on making the box, But it may be awhile before I try to make one. Calvin
I'm sure many people there have made them. :) It was a thread there mentioning someone who made an R2D2 out of sonotube that got me looking in R2building.
Before my 1:1 collection I was just into home theaters...weird how things work.
Hope the piece arrives soon!!!
