Batman LE update

My Facebook followers (if any) may be wondering why my HERBERT Batman posting abruptly ended? Near completion during a spot check the bloody RF controller died!
Ordered a couple of replacements from China with delivery due in September but hey...they arrived yesterday - yay.



Finished a customer job yesterday so we can get straight onto this again.

We ended the last session by glueing the doggie onto the back board and here we are next day for what should be the last session.

We finished the last session glueing the back frame onto the backboard which was left to dry overnight.

From the last session we glued the inner frame and left it to dry overnight.

Now we can remove that and take it outside for spray painting.

During my Brandon Park shopping trip this morning also got the  A4 photo frame for this job.

In the first session I cut the four pine strips for the internal frame and here we are measuring and cutting to fit the inside of the main photo frame.

 Customer order came in yesterday for a doggie night light.

Sent a few mock-up's for approval and this is what she picked.

From the last session we are ready to spray the back panel.

Another busy day and only just got out here to the workshop, it'a about 3.45pm

With the battery cavity cut out here we will make a retainer to hold the battery with some MDF strips.

Here we are getting ready to wire the lighting

Continuing on with the back panel we are prepping to cut out the battery recess hole.

Batman LE - Part 12

From the last session we made some errors when transferring the outline onto the MF blank so now we have to do some more trimming.

Batman LE - Part 11

 From the last session I screwed the LED panel onto the (now) flat black front panel and just realised something - bugger!

Before installing the LED strip lights I should have used the LED panel as a template to mark the outline on a 3mm MDF blank for the back panel.

The only thing we managed to do today was spray the front panel and the name plate.

The weak sun came out about four-o-clock so dashed out to prep for spray painting.

Batman LE - Part 9

From the last session the LED strip ended up about 100mm short of the end.

I have RGB strip off cuts so used one to extend the strip. In the video you can see the sticky tape holding down the join for soldering the strip ends.

 After sitting crouched over a scroll saw in the last session looking forward to something more interesting, installing the LED strip lights!

Removing the template paper, I've remarked so many times that laying down masking tape the sticking the template on makes it so much easier to remove when we get to this stage.

 Nearly finished cutting out the HERBERT letters and we have a problem!

About to cut the last letter but back down the track we had to stop cutting the B letter as the middle part of the right segment was about to break off - bugger!

Batman LE - Part 6

For this session we are back to the name plate.

Prepping to drill pilot holes in every segment of each letter.
