I’ve been working on this Trap for a few months now and I’m just about to put the finishing touches to it. Made from 1/4" MDF to Sean’s plans: My work area…my kitchen!! I thought these “Moon Disc” type wheels would look pretty cool. More updates to come. Keith ---

Lol bout the beef on sale. How long has this taken you? I wanna start my own trap build soon and I was just wondering if u needed any real major tools to make it. I see u used a dremel though! ---

I just built two traps in October, and they took about 3 weeks all told.. figure cut that in half for one trap. I simplified some steps, and also added freatures in the middle of our builds, so that might have taken more time. A lot of the time, like building packs, is trips to the store picking up everything you need. ---

No special tools other than the Dremmell to sand a few areas, mainly used to get a better fit with the doors, I’d say clamps to hold your work whilst drying as well. Like most things, if you have nothing else to do you could make a Trap in a week (allowing for drying times for glue and paint). However, like most, these props are made as and when we can squeeze in the odd hour or so between work/family/etc. Keith ---

My original idea for the flashing front Trap LEDs was to use a rear lamp for a bike, found them at the £1 shop. They have their own little circuit board but I had to play around with them and solder bits and pieces, but they did work at first. Initially they looked okay and worked fine, but were very flimsey, then I over loaded them and blew them after all that…I’m rubbish with small electronics!! So enter the MK2 version…Now these are much better, build by a guy who does kits for R/C vehicles. He made me up a set of 6 x 5mm LEDs that flash on and off alternately (3 on 3 off or as he calls it Wig Wag). From the 6 I used 5 x Orange LEDs for the front display, and 1 x Red LED for the battery box section. I changed the switch to a toggle and they work great…I’ll upload a vid later. Keith ---

Very nice! You do very nice finish work. The surfaces look nice and smooth. I would never have guessed it was MDF if I hadnt seen the build photos.. ---

Thanks guys…The good quality finish is one of my reasons for choosing MDF, a quick rub down with fine sand paper on the wooden surfaces, but then also a gentle run down of the painted surfaces with fine wet & dry paper inbetween coats. I don’t think you can get the same quality finish with say Plywood or Basswood…the only draw backs of MDF would be the weight, but as this is only a display prop that’s not a problem, and of course the dust when sanding. Remember to wear a dust mask when sanding or drilling MDF. I will get a few more pics up soon. Keith ---

Getting a bit closer to finishing my Trap: Still had the older LEDs at this point: In this pic you can see the “Moon Discs” look really nice sprayed in the same Satin Black as the Trap body Not much to do now…Enjoy. Keith ---
