Oceanic Flight 815 Playset

[megoscott]

Thanks for the support, it makes me feel like less of a total freak.

I've thought about that Heroes head sculpt, but it seems like a pain in the neck to do all that work for such a minor character. I'm thinking of using a dark haired Rookie head I bought from Rich, it's more than close enough.

Here's my experiments with seats and the scale issue.

I'm building a platform floor to raise the seats so the headroom isn't so extreme. Then it has an "aisle" that slides out like a drawer so when the set is open you have an aisle to walk down that you can slide away when the set is closed. I think it's a pretty nifty solution.

The seats I am making myself with a jigsaw and PVC board (I have a ton of scrap left over from all those Stately Caverns ledges...) The cushions are craft foam, I think it's a beautiful solution to making seats...I got quotes to do it lasercut, which would be nicer and with more detail, but it's just too expensive and I don't want to spend a ton on this one. Since I have no plans to make multiples of this I don't need to worry about mass producing seats. I may make a sticker to go on the outside of the chair so it has some more details, but this pretty much works for me. I have to make 12 plus a pilot's chair....

Still some adjusting to do: The headrest is too high and the platform is a bit too tall, I need it to be in line with the door. Like a dork, I built this before I removed the Barbie seats and kitchen so my measurements were totally brainless.

Still need to work out how to do the baggage compartment--the doors may be printed and won't actually work, but maybe that sucks, I don't know--I do kind of want to have oxygen masks to drop down in crash mode--anyone have any ideas how to make those quick and cheap let me know...

Chairs are awesome, and the craft foam works and looks great. Slide out floor is a sweet touch.

I'm digging the seats!

The sliding aisle is a great idea and I really dig those seats.
Job well done Scott, can't wait to see more.

For the doors on the baggage compartment: you could make those in the same material as the seats and glue little magnets inside, so they can open and close.

Oxygen masks, eh? Hmmmmm


The mask itself doesn't look that difficult, you just gotta find something small enough you can paint yellow. The plastic and wires shouldn't be hard at all

Looks real good, so far!

Those seats are great!

Can't wait to see more.

[AAAAA]

I think i have a tiny mask that would work as a oxgen mask.

Oh yeah? I'm interested, thanks!

So...has the wife staged an intervention yet?...

Just kidding. this is beyond cool. not a Lost fan, but its really neat to follow along on your journey to make all things Lost. I may have to watch the darn show just to see what the fuss is all about!

[megoscott]

Not much new to report, but I'd like to thank the internet for it's hordes of aviation geeks and their high res images of airline cockpits. I hate drawing dials.

[Meule]

Found any oxygen masks yet?

[megoscott]

Anyone remember this? I think I'm going to take it out of mothballs and finish it. Just sent this art to the sign printer to print up an enormous vinyl decal....Wish me luck, it'll be expensive if I screw it up.
