Hi Guys,
Finally got back in to the pit after Christmas etc.

Made up the frame for the windscreen and added rivets every 1" for more realism, then fitted acrylic in each opening. I'm using back projection on to a piece of white shower curtain stretched over the windscreen and thought it would work better with some support ( and you get nice reflections from the inside of the pit). Then test fitted it to the pit.





Once I was happy with the fit I removed it and stretched the shower curtain material over it and glued and stapled on all the back edges. I did have a few small creases when finished, but a run over with a hot air gun set on low sorted that and stretched the material taut.




Although the screen looks grey in the last picture, it is white.

More to follow when I get the projector set up .....

Andy
