Anyone ever make a Homemade Lite-Brite? I saw a huge one and the Children's Museum in Pittsburgh and thought it would be sweet to make.
I would make the pegs out of 3/4" acrylic dialrods in all different colors. The hardest part is making it so the light doesn't come through the closed holes. I'll have to get some type of 1/16" or 1/8" rubber and cut an "X" in it where the hole is to make a type of flap. I think. Or maybe just a flap. It all depends on the lighting I use. Weather I use a bunch of LEDs (10mm, probably 3-4 under each hole for the desired brightness through the acrylic rod.) Or some tube lights like you have in your celling at work.
Just wanted to see if anyone has done this before or has some suggestions. I'll be drawing some sketchup models soon.
Cheers.
