The plastic just makes it look this way.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dg2MnBnUt8Y/SvCk20Cib7I/AAAAAAAAB4Q/gIIDzvdfJVk/s1600-h/DSC03826.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dg2MnBnUt8Y/SvCk20Cib7I/AAAAAAAAB4Q/gIIDzvdfJVk/s320/DSC03826.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399997214806405042" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/673642964682009431-460856133614866740?l=tinterrogator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calvin Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928574229557018197noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673642964682009431.post-57424013229219344932009-11-02T15:03:00.000-05:002009-11-02T15:09:51.074-05:00I have 2 Aspect Super Domes for this project and since they have a screw fitting<br />in the center of each dome it will make it easy to connect the domes together.<br />Here's a picture of the dome when you first get it.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dg2MnBnUt8Y/Su87rgWJJyI/AAAAAAAAB34/bOGn8EsqrD4/s1600-h/DSC03825.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 274px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dg2MnBnUt8Y/Su87rgWJJyI/AAAAAAAAB34/bOGn8EsqrD4/s320/DSC03825.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399600096843736866" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dg2MnBnUt8Y/Su88E-PkCvI/AAAAAAAAB4A/_5CfW9-BloY/s1600-h/DSC03823.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 271px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dg2MnBnUt8Y/Su88E-PkCvI/AAAAAAAAB4A/_5CfW9-BloY/s320/DSC03823.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399600534365932274" /></a><br />And this is how it looks after you sand all the lettering off the top and sand the rest for the paint to stick.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/673642964682009431-5742401322921934493?l=tinterrogator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calvin Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928574229557018197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673642964682009431.post-49112426238121455622009-11-02T15:00:00.000-05:002009-11-02T15:02:53.845-05:00Yeah I know, Another Blog :o)<br />But I can't control myself and I allways wanted a INTERROGATOR DROID.<br />So here it goes and if anyone uses this Blog to create their own droid,<br />Don't quote me on the measuements I'm doing my best.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/673642964682009431-4911242623812145562?l=tinterrogator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calvin Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928574229557018197noreply@blogger.com0
