Ice Crystals - Early Test

[lightman]

Are the tops glued to the bases? So far all your glue/seams would be on the inside. I can't see how you would accomplish this last step.

I really like the design, and was starting to wonder if we could use something like this in the December production of "Willy Wonka".

The upper tops are hot glued onto the Coroplast columns from the outside, as you mentioned. The color of the cold glue and the "transparent" type of Coroplast match in color, so items blends in.

I even lay an extra bead on all outside seams, where necessary since the colors match so well.

You can slip the column-tube over you an reach up with glue gun to lay bead from inside. Just got to be tall for the 8 footers...LOL.

I recommend 3/4" plywood bases painted black with caster wheels. This adds structural support and the wheels make for quick scene changes. But you know this already.

"Break a leg" with Willy Wonka. We will be using them for the "Hobbitt" play.

LOL... Yeah... even have a special Hobbitt sword that fades up and glows blue... made out of Coroplast. Take a look at photo.

Used an SX processor and 3 AAA batteries that control a Harbor Freight Free 9 LED Flashlight. All components slips into the handle of the sword (PVC pipe).

This is a prototype. The art techies will render it with paint, bondo, and such to make it look good.

It has button with following programmed modes...
Press 1 X = Slow fade up. Press it again... slow fade down.
Press 2 X = Fast fade up. Press again... fast fade down.
Press 3 X = Random fade/flicker routine
Press 4 X = Hard on off flicker.
Press 5 or more times = Do nothing
