IF you can't TELL, I have a 24"x24" base, with a structure 8" deep by about 16" high and 26" inches wide.
It gets larger from bottom to top to a weird, caricatured effect.
Then, after a second trip to Lowe's (and I stupidly forgot my 10 percent off card), we achieved THIS number:
From the back, it looks like this. Of course, when it's finished, the support beams won't be so prominent.
Then, finally, this is what I intend for it to look like:
There will be a roof and a dome (possibly made out of Styrofoam). Windows and other things for the most part will be painted, except for those that will be interacted with. Those I'm going to rig up with some sort of slide open mechanism. At least the windows. The door, you'll actually be able to open.
There will probably only be three openings to interact with.
I'm still working out the details of that, obviously, but I hope to use an Arduino board and some motion sensors and write code in Processing.
I've also decided there's not going to be a back. I'll probably stick my computer in there to run the program from, instead of loading it onto the chip. And then I can use my computer to relay the sound, also.
As far as figures, I'm not planning on doing anything too drastic. Probably some simple, Photoshopped image. Sanford's, for example, will just be him, perhaps when you open the front door of the Statehouse, making a press conference, and delivering a few golden soundbites from that press conference he gave back in June.
Then, one of the larger windows will be Joe Wilson, and the other window might be Andre Bauer. Or something.
So, yeah. That's where I am.
