Gave it a little more depth I thought it needed.Investing in securities involves risks, and there is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities. I then printed it out as a large template and traced it onto the foam.įinally, for the base, I made a simple decorative front plate out of some remaining plywood scraps. As for the shape/size of the symbol itself - I found a batman symbol I liked and stretched it out in Gimp until I liked the shape and how well it filled up the circular area of the light. ![]() I also sealed the symbol with Creature Cast and then spray painted it a dark metallic bronze color. I cut the batman symbol out of a single large piece of eva foam, 1/2" I think. I spray painted the inside of the vinyl sheet flat white. I sealed it with Creature Cast - which is awesome - and gave it a base coat of dark gray and then hand detailed it with a chip brush and some shades of silver. Finally, I added some large bolts made of foam for a final bit of detail. This worked perfectly and gave me a much more rigid feed to the foam skin:īefore I put on a decorative front face (also made of foam), I stapled down the "glass" surface, which is really a single sheet of vinyl cut to size. So, I then wrapped very thin pieces of hobby balsa between the 1x3s. ![]() Unfortunately, the foam sagged and really wasn't supported well enough between the 1x3s. I then wrapped the light with a single piece of eva foam for its outer layer: I really didn't want it to be heavy, so I attached the two sides using some thin 1x3 pieces of wood: I made a simple compass tool and cut the plywood to a circular shape using a jigsaw. The base was pretty simple - cut two sides of the frame in plywood, and attach them.įor the light, I again built the frame from plywood. With the size and shape decided on, I went about making a wood frame for each of the two main pieces. I ended up modeling my base after a toy bat signal that I liked the shape of. Obviously the light is round, but the base presented a fun design opportunity. If you haven't used Inkscape, it's free software, and I highly recommend getting this super-helpful video tutorial by Punished Props. Hadn't done this previous but it turned out to be super helpful. I started by first creating an Inkscape diagram to nail down the exact shape and size of the signal. I needed more than a costume - I needed something big for the yard, and the Bat Signal seemed like the perfect choice. Every year, I make something a little bonkers for Halloween.
