Building progress

I am so almost done building this thing. I just need to attach the door, paint the scene to go behind the door (and hot glue that bitch in there), put the grass on the platform, and put the dome on.

For the dome, I'm thinking of cutting some Styrofoam in half and putting it up there, but that also makes me a little sad because the rest of it looks pretty nice, I think, and Styrofoam might look shitty. Then again, I can perhaps cover it with something that disguises the fact that it's, you know, Styrofoam.

Here's a better look at the side so you can see the work done to the roof and the stairs. Pretty goddamn intricate, thank you very much:


















And finally, here's the back and what the inside wiring bits will look like. I hope:
The black circle on the platform represents the motion detector. That will hook into the Arduino, which is the black rectangle on the right.

I MAY have a light up at the top. If I have extra time. I'll probably maybe play the sound clips from my laptop? which can sit in the back? Because I might not be able to get the speakers to work? It's at least an alternative plan.

You won't be able to see the laptop, anyway, though, because it'll be tucked inside there. And it's not like I'll have to stand there to operate it. So it's not exactly a computer on a podium? Yes?
