    I found this great printer paper that is transparency film. It's a white plastic sheet that lets light through. Amazing stuff.

    I downloaded a copy of the original 'Bride Of..' one sheet, shrunk it to an inch across and printed it on the film. This was all done on a cheap HP inkjet. Cut a piece of clear styrene for glazing and 3D printed a frame and lightbox.

    Ignore the hot spot of the bottom, the LED will be properly aimed when installed in the corner or the kit. I'm painting it B&W like the Munsters I did and the color one sheet in the corner should really set it off, just like in the 30s.

    Nice one. I use a lot of the clear acetate sheets but haven't come across a white translucent version.
    Huge potential in this......any links????

    Hey Derek,

    I'm sure there are a bunch of different ones, but this is the one I used.

    I found it local in NY, but it's probably available everywhere. I think it was around $10 for 5 sheets shipped. With proper layout, just printing on the leading edge, you can get a lot of usage from one sheet.
