Howdy!
I'm working on a modified BMO. It's a VERY belated birthday present for someone. It's intended use is camping, because she(the person it's for) likes to go off on these mini self retreats in the woods.
I'm essentially making it into a glorified lantern with cellphone speakers and an emergency laser emitter(just modifying some laser pointer emitters) which will project an equilateral triangle into the sky. That's the international symbol for distress. I figure the civil air patrol will be able to see it for tens of miles in the forest/mountains at night, not much ambient light.
I already have most of the body constructed as of this morning. I'm going to be using a mixture of Elmer's and Durhams I mentioned a few weeks ago for impact filler. the body is made of heat formed as well as carved pieces of 1/8th inch plexiglass held/braced together by way of small sheet metal screws to wood braces.
I'll see about getting pics up, or links soon. I know that some wanted to see about the Elmer's/Durhams mix, I figured this would be a perfect opportunity.
Cheers!
