This set of bats are using RF controllers that don’t require line-of-sight so I don’t have to mount the controller behind bat head with the IR diode poking up – always a tricky part of the build.

I planning to install the controller in the middle below the name cutout and we’ll have to work out that when we get to that part of the lighting stage.

Prepping to cut some blanks.

Working out the best layout to minimize waste.

Sticking the templates onto the blanks after laying down masking tape and then applying Blue Stick. For larger jobs I use spray-on adhesive.

Drill pilot holes in each letter segment for the scroll saw blade.

Back soon…
