no, im not dyslexic i'm talking about Build Your Own Car Accessory (",). Pictures tell the story. Obviously it's for my new (registered, sephroth ;) ) car- The Master. Materials used are 2mm black craft foam, paper, thin piano wire (forgot the gauge, but one of the thinner ones) a little household suction cup thingo and some contact adhesive. Face is cut out before glueing on because otherwise it tears when you try and cut them together. piano wire is sandwiched between two pieces of foam. A good side effect is that when you cut the foam to the shape of the face its necessary to cut a little larger, giving a nice 1-2mm boarder. This particular type of suction cup had a plactic cup hook. i cut off the curly part. If i had a drill i would have used that but instead i had to cut a short length of piano wire, heat it with a lighter until glowing red and then push and twist into the bit of plastic going back into the suction cup. dont heat the wire you will use because it will lose its temper. and dont drive the red hot wire into your thumb or you will lose YOUR temper ;D
i experimented with how springy the wire was before glueing and cut it a little longer. when it was all assembled i adjusted a little more but sticking 'The Master' to the fridge door.

The Master! As played by Roger Delgado who was THE man. Sadly he only played him for a couple of years before he died in a car crash :'( Dr Who fans will understand (",).

Isn't that restricting your visibility?
-
On the other hand, it's great for transit lanes on Freeways

Useful if you get pulled over by the cops.
I am The Master. You will obey me.
-
That reminds me. Do they still sell those plastic waving hands anymore?
-
Now you need one of Nana for the other side.

It was the best I could do.

Isn't that restricting your visibility?
it's on the drivers side passenger window so no, it doesn't restrict visibility.
-
Doesn't this belong in Project Announcements?
-
Man, am I slow.
I've been working mentally on "Canada?" "California?" for a day now.
I had to read the glue comment before it stuck.
