Multiple MultiCams

The last piece of the Multicam trade show display is the TV surround. It simply wouldn't do to have something predictable or ordinary. We decided to wrap the TV in the same Steampunk design as the rest. While the gears and gauges and lights really do nothing at all it makes for a fun way to watch TV at the very least.

It's one of my delights is to incorporate our client's branding as many times as possible in our pieces. Their sole purpose, after all, is to bring attention to our client's business, product or service. On this series of pieces we managed to sneak in branding an amazing thirty-two times.

The final paint and glazes will be done early next week and then we'll build the giant packing crates and send them down the road. The next time I will see them is when I stand amongst them to do my presentations. It will be fun to see if they indeed work as I imagine.

Lisa to the rescue!

Sometimes the parts of our project that give us the most difficulty are the smallest. In the case of the robot I wanted to add some small LED lights to the duel spindles. The LEd moduless I had in stock but the lenses proved to be more problematic. I wanted to keep things simple and figured some small acrylic rods would do the trick. My first thought was that some LITE BRIGHTS would be just the ticket. The effort to source them in local stores proved to be futile. We then put the word out to everyone we knew in the area to no avail. But as they say, it's all in who you know. Hailey's mom, Lisa Hiemstra has an engraving store, Engravex, and amazingly had some colored acrylic rod in stock. She even delivered them cut to length and in a few minutes they were glued in place. Lisa earns today's 'honorary hero of the day'! THANKS!

While I did the final assembly the painting crew spread on the last glaze and wiped it off perfectly to make the MultiCam look well used. It instantly looked industrial and heavy duty.

The TV stand got it's final glaze as well making it match the robot router.

The TV surround is the last piece in assembly. Tomorrow we'll get the first sneak peek. Stay tuned...

Bling!

The MultiCam robot is quickly coming together. With the arrival of the LED lights I could finally start on the final assembly of the pieces. The LED lights instantly added some bling to the piece. As quick as I buttoned everything up the pieces the painting crew followed behind adding the final color.
