Our local Community Theater will be performing "The Pink Panther Strikes Again", and I volunteered to build the Doomsday Machine. As a reference, here is the one from the movie.
Of course, for the theater play we do not need an exact 1:1 replica, and I will not spend the time and effort to make one. I just want something that it impresses the audience, both in terms of size and functionality and which somehow resembles the one from the movie. The play is in four weeks, so I have about two weeks time to finish this. I will be posting all major steps here in the forum, and the full details on my blog.
Here is an initial sketch how I want it to look like:
My Doomsday Machine will be made of three pieces: A base (with octagonal structure), a mid-piece that holds a computer screen, switches and lights, and a top piece which is the "laser gun". The total height should be 5-6 feet.
