[QUOTE="Whitey-, post: 134315, member: 39146"] I spent quite a few hours Monday and Tuesday soldering props - mostly plastic items from Woolworths and the Reject Shop that had gone on clearance. Stripped out whatever lighting they had (if any) and replaced it. I also was sequencing as I went (trial by fire, but I wanted to do a song my kids like - Hide and Seek). We'd also spent a lot of Monday pushing pixels through chromatrim, intended to mount it up on a wooden frame. I figured since I had the lights and the coro to do it, I'd go 48 x 30 - or 1200w x 750h @ 25mm (16:10 - 1440px). I know, ambitious - but it was all going fairly well, until we realised that standard spacing from piece to piece of chromatrim vertically is 50mm. Uh-oh. I looked at going 48x15 (for the same spacing requirements), but this didn't feel right size wise. So we decided to snip up some of the 1000ft of Boscoyo MegaTree mounting strip we have, as it's skinny enough to place at 25mm vertically and horizontally. This proved difficult. The strip is much harder to push through than the coro, and the mounting becomes more challenging. We tested with a single strip with cable ties and deemed it 'good enough' and started pushing.

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
