Who made it?

Through a series of swaps, favours and eyelash-fluttering, I did. Sort of. Indirectly.






Curse you and your fucking technicalities... I designed the stuff to be screened onto the front, at least. Apart from the main image which I stole from the internet.






I have to delete it, don't I?

hahahaha No, of course not. I find the aesthetics the hardest part, and you nailed that

Mocked it up in Photoshop, then laserprinted it before getting my screenprinting chum to work his magic on it.

I also painted the enclosure. Yes, that's right, the enclosure that all the paint's falling off.

If you've got a scanner at home or work, scan your blank enclosure - you can use this to make a drilling guide as well as a placement guide/massive decal. I'll help out if you want.

I have a super lame printer that has a scanner. That's a great idea. I'm definitely going to start doing this. Cheers.

May well get you to tidy up the scan into a transparent outline for me, mate.

I bet he doesn't even remember making it! That's how he treats us little people now he's a big famous tv star!

(Actually Euan made it, and I painted it. The tone control sometimes stops working, and the paint is coming off- yes, t'was a fine bit of teamwork)

A little annoying considering I put a whole can of clear coat on it, but nevermind- it allows the mojoarrows to permeate easier.

Yeah, I dunno what the issue is. More coats of primer, colour, clear, or all three?

I typically do 2 of each these days, and they're clearly not indestructable.

Something to do with 'bake them in a toaster oven'. What is a toaster oven? I have a toaster but the slots are too narrow.
