Well...it's been a while since I've been able to post, but I have been busy.
I think I've finally collected all of the found parts, so now I need to get busy building stuff.
Wand Hose
I was pretty happy with how this turned out. I'm doing 3 packs so I picked up a 10' piece of hose from Home Depot and cut it into 3' lengths. I still a bit more for the other section, but this'll do. The wires are all color matched to the Comic Con pack, although they are a little thicker of a gauge. I like it though. I love the connectors they used. It makes it easy to dissemble.
Thrower Box
I still have a bit of clean up to do on this before I mold it. I think I'm going to remove a number of details and laser cut them so they will be nice and crisp on the final product before molding.
Project Boxes
Earlier this week the project boxes finally came in. The nice thing about the ones where the knobs go, you can simply cut one in half and use it in both places.
I've decided not to use the small bottom box because I don't like how it works underneath the shroud, so I ordered a larger box, that will still need to be cut down at the top. This will allow the box to hold whatever display should I choose to put one, as well as the switch on the side.
Box Shroud
Before I send the drawings off to the machine shop I wanted to see if everything fit on this, so I made a POC in cardboard. I'm happy with it, and hopefully I can get it in their hands this week still.
Overall at of 10/27
I'm pretty happy with the progress I'm making. I'm trying to identify parts that I can build, and just get them done. Between my buddy and I we are doing 5 of these, so I'm going to fiberglass a few pieces to cut down on time and cost. So very shortly I'll have to get going on those.
