Post by: Gailbraithe on January 04, 2016, 01:13:37 AM
Built this for a dude in my club to take to the Las Vegas open:

The tower section lifts out from the base so that you can switch the sphere on.  The guy I built it for specifically wanted a platform included where a unit could stand and take shots from, and you can fit a ten-man unit around the sphere.

Tried some lighting effects, came out just okay, they look better in person.

Here's the back:

Pretty cool. 8)

Is that thing battery operated? I've only seen those spheres with power converters which plug into a wall socket...Pretty cool. 8)

Yeah, it's powered by 3 AAA batteries.  I found it on Amazon for like US$16.
