BTTF Hoverboard Lenticular

[ollyhills]

So Sommars obviously have their clear lenticular, and presumably won’t be selling the pink one again (if they ever did?) any time soon.

So what are peoples solutions?

Pink card sandwiched between the lenticular and the board? Painting the underside? I saw someone used pink highlighter pens to colour it in (I don’t think I’ll be doing that….)

Any assistance and examples would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

Hey,

Did you ever find a solution?

Kind regards

I still have some pink lenticular left from past projects. I don’t think I can get these anymore. Send me a message if you need any for your own hoverboard project. With this particular material you wouldn’t have to worry about sandwiching them or coloring them in any way. Just add 3M adhesive sheet to the back of lenticular and adhere.

pm sent! Would be great for my board!

Excellent start!

A lot of work already went into that wooden board as is. …and yet, your still at the beginning of your journey. .

All joking aside, take your time with this project. I promise you the end result will be worth it. Although it can be meticulous, try not to get wrapped up in the small details. (Trust me!). Just have your references in hand as a guide and have fun with it.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you! yes its a time consuming progress but a lot of fun! And that is the most important . The next thing i will work on are the mags and battery box.

You got more of this?

You got more of this?

Yes, I have lenticular left over. I am currently working on a few boards as we speak. Let me know what you need.

Is it by the ft or yard? How much I need enough to do about 3 boards so maybe about 12 ft or so. And how do I pay for it? Thanks

I would like to purchase some of that pink lenticular material.

Hey… do you still have any spare lenticular? Looking to upgrade my Universal studio’s board to be more accurate.

I'm just curious because I went through this a while back: Is the original pink lenticular material a solid color on one side? If so, you could just paint one side of the clear stuff pink and have something pretty close. When I made mine, I used the clear lenticular, but I painted the back side with transparent pink followed by a layer of silver. That seemed to be a reasonable facsimile of the original look, but perhaps I put too much work into it?

Ned about 4 ft of it or so.

That seems a good solution. Perhaps a transparent pink sheet behind the lenticular could also be a choice?

I tried vinyl and had adhesion issues (which looked terrible).
