Dragon Ball Radar with lights

Sup guys, I'm gonna show you the Dragon Ball radar I made.


I started by lathing a pine wood master for my homemade vacuum forming machine.

Since I use a heat gun to warm up the styrene, it was difficult to make a nice pull, but these two turned out nice.

Here's the screen, made from acrylic. The lines were scribed using the pointy end of the compass. Later I used the heat gun to make the dome shape.

First I tried to make my own circuit, but I'm not too good with eletronics, so I got a strobe light circuit. Just had to solder the button, the battery and the LEDs.

Final pictures. Since I sanded the inside of the screen, you can't see inside it, just the lights when they're on!

That is very impressive. I haven't watched a DBZ episode in a long long time, I remember seeing this in the shows and iirc in the the movie also ?
 
Very nicely done! You might want to check out your local thrift stores for a toaster oven. Easier way to heat your plastic than a heat gun.
