Ahhh, a classic! Waiting with anticipation to see how your own spin on this (pun intended) turns out!

I'll be there for Fri, Sat, and Sun. Though I may have to leave around noon on Sunday. May be able to stay later, just depends on if I'm needed home sooner.

For everyone looking to play tonight (Friday Night Infinite) be sure to shoot me a friend request either on Steam or Xbox Live if we're not friends already, Benton188 on both platforms.

Right now I just have the felt for making the basic flat terrain look. Once I see hw it looks I'll decide if it'll look good to have a more scale model appearance. The model trees and such might be way too big to make it look correct.

UPDATE!! So I've opted to go for the 'breaks down into 8 pieces' approach for better stability and shape control at the cost of easy storage and transport. I've now gotten 4/15 sections completed meaning we're just over 1/4 of the way there! I've bought some LED strips to test and have a...

Building a giant Halo ring for booth displays. Ceilings beware!

I have to head out around Noon-1pm on Sunday, so I won't be able to help with teardown this year.

It'll break down into 15 or 8 pieces for storage, just depends on how many sections I want to keep it in. Will also make transporting a lot easier. Each piece is only 6 inches tall so when stacked it takes up little space.

UPDATE!! Got a 2nd piece done and wanted to stack them just to see how it'll all fit together. Will need some structural pieces added to the ends to keep them in alignment when combined together. But for now they'll be a bit loosey goosey, as lights will need run first before closing them up...

This is a project that's been on my mind for about 2 years now, and I'm finally taking steps to see it built. Inspired by the broken Halo Ring segment at Outpost Discovery, this will be a completed ring display for 405th booths and photo ops. The file comes from SpartanX360 on Thingiverse, and...

I think at this point it's been lost to time. I recall asking the original author years ago for the file, but they couldn't release it for a reason so I stopped chasing it.

The coloration of the visor after vacuum forming and then applying the dye will never wear out. The dying process bonds the dye to the plastic through heat transfer so it can't be accidentally wiped off. The chrome on the inside however is subject to it getting worn out over time. Humidity...
