arty-rc 719 Posted June 27, 2015 Just finished three more for the wife to take back to camp. I hate the way my Iphone takes this type of picture. They look much better in true life. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcart 11 Posted June 27, 2015 Good job, they look nice. What kind of abrasive are you using to get the deep etch? I've been using the black beauty and it doesn't seem to get that good of results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arty-rc 719 Posted July 6, 2015 where are u getting the lighted bases from?? i have access to tons of lexan glass for this, just need to get the bases. I'm making my own bases from 2x4"s. Five passes by my table saw blade and three passes by my router blade. After final sanding and varnish staining I wire up the led's(bought from the big auction site) to a power supply and apply felt to the bottom of the base. I usually make 10 bases at a time.

arty-rc 719 Posted July 19, 2015 Did one for a friend. I tried RGB LEDs and got slight mixed color lighting. The Iphone picture stinks, it looks much better than this picture. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcextreme 475 Posted April 19, 2016 Any update on the bases?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go-C Graphics 856 Posted April 20, 2016 The OCD in me is getting in the way. I've gone through a few more prototypes. The layered parts was nice but very time consuming. They would have cost $30+ just to make decent money for my time. I've got a new design that looks really promising. It's next on my list to finish and I get through this big shirt order.
