Here is my first attempt. I printed it online at Walmart.com - a 20" x 30" is $18, and you have to choose matte" finish for same-day. It looks great during the day in a well-lit room, but does fade when fully backlit at night. But for $20, it sure blows away my original! If anyone wants the file, just PM me.
There is some light shining from the right side, where the trans wasn't fully sealed. Its fixed now.
I will say all the flasher bulbs in the top of head work well with this layout, as they make "Metropolis" stand out.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Holy crap! That looks awesome. I can’t tell, do you have the replacement robot mod under the PF as well?
Aaaand what material is the translite printed on?
Thanks, it's printed on what Walmart calls "poster paper" which feels like thick photo stock. You can get it done in under 4 hours at any Walmart. You can send the file in online, then go pick it up when ready. That's the original robot, I just cleaned it up. I'm not sure it had ever been cleaned before!
Pro-tip - the 30"x 20" poster works perfect, just center your art, and realize you'll be trimming 2.5" on either side to make it fit.
