This is one of those things I decided I needed in my life. I love that movie and I wanted to have the chrome logo somewhere in my house. I like making things big so I had a blank wall about 20 feet long so I used that. First step was to paint a starfield using florescent paint I have blacklights mounted to hit those. Then I made a simple Loc-Nar out of a globe and a green Halloween light from Lowes.
The logo is pink foam cut and sanded to shape about 7 feet across. Then I covered it in chrome wrap. It came out ok... but I think I am going to cut out clear acrylic sheets and cover those with the same wrap. Just on the face of the letters, I want them to be very smooth but that is a project for another day. The Robot is PVC covered in pink foam with pose-able joints.
here is some short videos showing the logo..
