With Halloween fast approaching I thought it'd be fun to give myself a little challenge. I will attempt to scratchbuild a trap in a day. If sucessful I hope it will show some of the new people that quality props can be made in time for Halloween and kick some of the old guard in their duff to get up and make something.
Today is my shop/prep day to gather all the materials I'll need for the build tomorrow. I'll be making the trap out of foamcore and styrene just like my first trap. unlike that one though I'll be using styrene instead of aluminum for the side plates and all resin knobs. This will be a "build for paint" project so don't expect a finished trap at the end of the day, just one ready to be painted before final assembly.
I already have much of the material needed, just have to pick up a few more things. The build will start around 9am EST tomorrow morning and run until it's done or 12am, whichever comes first.
