Still recovering from whatever I did to my neck a few weeks ago so a little time for more 'ehukai work.
Found a piece of "shattered ice" milky plastic stuff in small sheet form at Home Cheapo while shopping for a job so figured I would give it a shot.
I was guessing that having this layer underneath some regular clear stuff could give the desired effect (eventually)
Not hard to cut with the template I already made- and the proper blade.
One might think that a diamond blade would be overkill for cutting plastic- but since it doesn't have teeth it doesn't tear or crack anything!
And this small form circular saw is great if you go slowly enough to cut clean lines.
I layered the pieces into the marquee zone to see if they would fit.
They slide into the upper slot enough to clear the bottom panel and then drop into place quite nicely.
Finally got to use these LED rgb strips that the lady of the house got me years ago.
Using two separate units to get a color mix that looks like the ocean out here on a sunny day, and...
Viola!
Now if I can get some Schwepps style effervescence into this whole get up it will be just what I wanted.
Any suggestions on bubbly or foamy light motion are quite welcome!
After I saw how the light acts around the sides I may try to etch the backside of the plexi where it will overlap with the bezel side flanges and see if it will telegraph down the sides too if set up properly.
