Nice work on the stickers. But the board should be hovering over the gravel!

what did you use to make the hole black?121Gigabytes

I painted the hole black using Testor's black gloss model paint. It worked great.

I'm looking for the lenticular material. If anyone knows any sources or has some orleftover, enough for one board, and is willing to sell, I'm very interested. I'm located in Japan. Suppliers that sell such material, charge a lot for overseas shipping. Thanks.

This is the stuff. Not sure exactly how much they send for this price.

Thanks for the link. They charge over $60 just to ship to Japan.

Perhaps you can try to find something similar locally. Like drop-ceiling light panels, textured shower doors or something.
There is also the "want to buy" section in the classifieds area.

Is it worth keeping the original box? My board lives in a dark room with a pair MAGs sitting top. I thinking that the days of lugging this to cons are over and the box is in the original shipping carton outside the room just taking up space. I know that keeping the box would retain the value should I sell, but I have no intention of ever selling this thing or any of my props for that matter.
