This weeks mission...

Post by nexus_7 »

Rebuild/retool Lego rig.

Plans:

Sceens behind windows

Lighting

more stable internal layout

minor rig updates.

What I really need is a new mboard and cpu though....but dont want to spend any $ or pc hardware, mainly cause I know I will have to spend soem on some legos. :(

i wonder... i wonder if i could CNC a chunk of plexi to have a lego top and bottom so you can build it into the front? all i would need is a few legos and some sizes and i could probbly imput the stuff into the Mastercam and get the CNC mill to make the top and bottom so it can be built around.

you should be able to find 1/4 or 3/4 plexi and that should be stable

sometimes at goodwill etc you can find old junk with plexi fronts
