Steve Lodefink has posted the results of his opaque projector build, using the giant lens he got from American Science & Surplus (see previous post below). The results are beautiful. Love the Plasticote wrinkle paint, the BelAir logo, and the Fender amp power jewel.
Too bad I don’t really know how it works or if it does so.
