I got bored this week and thought I'd make a small, custom, RGB/Movie combo trap with some of the random materials I already had laying around the house. This trap is designed to be small so if any of the Lady busters in the So-Cal group want to wear it they can without taking up too much space on their belt.
It has a hinge on the front so it opens in a way that can be used for storage.
The body of the Trap is made mostly of generic craft Foam board. The Aluminum plating is just basswood painted metallic. The handle is made from a magic marker. And most of the details are made from either wood or different odds and ends I had lying about. The meter on the front I created in Photoshop, printed, and glued into place. After finishing the trap, I couldn't help but make a holster and pedal to go with it. The holster was made out of Leather, a small sheet of steel and some rivets.
I decided to go with an RGB feel to the pedal since it would be easier to carry with a small trap. I'm very pleased with the way the pedal came out. It was made with a combinations of things: Lid to a hair product jar, Sheets of Styrene, an empty tube of painters tape, a block of wood, and a plastic circle used for keeping furniture wheels stationary.
The cable is Yellow Wire with BNC connectors. It can just as easily be used with any Black BNC cables, but I liked the addition of some color. Reminds me of my old Kenner trap as a kid.
