Batman LE part 10

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.

Batman LE - Part 7

 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.

Batman LE - Part 5B

 

Here is the nameplate with cutting template stuck on ready for cutting out on the scroll saw.

Batman LE - Part 5A

In this session we will prepare the name plate for cutting out on the scroll saw.

This is a A3 bat that requires a A3 printer to print the templates. Fortunately I have a Canon A3 printer downstairs in my study. Too lazy to go downstairs to to collect the template printout I managed to squeeze the thing onto A4 paper to print out here on the balcony Canon A4 printer.
