Thanks Phantom Dave.I can't wait to see this completed myself. Thanks ActionJax I did get a lot of parts from ebay such as the meters,knife switches,radio valves and the transformer for the Jacobs ladder.It will be a lot easier and cheaper for you if you live in the US.I've found some great stuff on US ebay but either the seller won't ship overseas or the postage is way too expensive .There's not really much to a Jacobs Ladder,a transformer,power lead and switch connected to the transformer,high voltage cable leading to the 2 brass electrodes.That's pretty much it,the rest of the stuff on there is just to make it look cool.The transformer I have is a 15000v 30ma old neon sign transformer.The newer ones won't work.If you Google "Jacobs Ladder how to"you'll find a lot better information than I can give.If you know an electrician he can check it to make sure it's safe.It's a good idea to cover the electrodes with a clear acrylic tube.You can also try to get a transformer from neon sign shops. Here's a link to an Abbott and Costello statue I did as a tribute to the guys.I have a tendency not to take photos of my work so I don't have a lot.http://www.universalmonsterarmy.com/forum/index.php?topic=23570.0Started the top of machine A today.Below is a jig I made to bend the 4mm acrylic rods.This is what I got done.I still have to put something in the middle grey area.I'm toying around with the idea of putting some flashing lights there. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some sculpting done.I'll take a little break from the machines to work on the head and hands.I still have to make the neck bolts. Cheers Gab
Gab,You know, I belong to many boards but I think this is my favorite thread ... ever!I've always wanted to build a Jacob's ladder for Halloween and after seeing yours I'm going to do it. Iread somewhere that they give off a gas, how long can you run one safely?
I am totally on the edge of my seat. Seriously.
Where's the update?! Looking forward to seeing what's to come. Hehehee
Thank you very much. That was exactly what to see. I never meant to imply that you were trying to build an "exact" copy. But you are doing an incredible job of creating something that would have easily been seen on the set. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are a real artist my friend. And an inspiration to me. I'm wanting to build something (as good as I can) for my yard display this Halloween. So I really appreciate all the advice and recommendations I can get. I look forward to see your project completed.Oh and how's the sculpt coming?
Ooo the grey I think would look really good. Not to say that I don't like what you've got now. But the grey walls would lend itself to the idea of a B&W film.I'm still surprised that you're going to start your sculpt over again. I thought you were really capturing the creature quite well. Are you planning on trying to do Boris even more accurately? Or more of a generic monster?And if your not going to be using that first sculpt...I'd love to have it! I'll be sending you may address here in the States. You can just send it along with anything else you might be getting rid of.
