The Book

I'm also creating a book recording my work from start to finish - here are some sample pics of the contents...

Bits & Bobs

I've been a bit busy to blog with tidying up some of the messy bits - new x & y knobs are being made with knurling & no line on top (it doesn't need it), fixing & attaching the coin slot door, polishing up the privacy cover, & making the coin slot a bit neater. Pics will be up soon to show the improvements!

The (Almost) Finished Model!

Looking good! I just got some feedback from my lecturers & there are some little things I need to change, but I'm happy with it.

Installing The Screen

Circuitry

Here is the circuit board & the Arduino mounted together on one board & wired up.

The Body

Here is the process of spraying the Observer body. The top right pic is the untouched, sandblasted body to the last pic of the finished article.

Sprayed

I haven't posted for a while, but here are the small parts (coin box door & platform) sprayed up with the primer & graphite grey spray paint. With the help of Gus, we applied 4 coats of primer with around 4 coats of paint. Looks very nice!
