Fun with Lenticulars....

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

I am a big fan of 7-11, I survive on Diet Coke Big Gulps. Recently I tried a Monster Black Ice slurpee, I did not like it, but I liked the holo cup it came in. 7-11 often does special holo cups: Hulk, madden, Halo, Iron Man, etc...
So I played with making BAT chest panels (pics below). I would like to play around and do a Bar code BAT,or maybe cut out a letter or symbol such as an M for MARS BAT, or some flames for the inferno bat. NFL Bat to take on the Fridge or Bazooka...
I cut a chunk of the cup, heated it in water to flatten it, and put it under a TV for two days to keep it flat.
While not as good as the origninal, I think it looks better than an empty silver chest plate. I need to refine my cuts so they are a bit cleaner, but again, this was just proof of concept

pics are worth 1000 words:

I think that that would look awesome in person, but lenticulars don't photograph for crap...

You know I'm a big fan of lenticular anything. Awesome to see it utilized.

I still am hoping for lenticular radar screens.

My wife gave me one of her old Barbie calcualtors, which for a Joe looks like a Com device. I placed a lenticular of some background folks from a baseball game card, and it came out sweet. When you move it, the guy on the tiny screen looks like he is talking to you.

I've placed a few of the ones with lenticular lightning flashes in a few dios here and there. Might even use one for a Joe backpack that has a flat surface.
