# I've made a poster for a science workshop I am organising
Thought you all may appreciate the airfix / electronics hackery.



No photoshopping (other than a bit of cleanup) - it's lots of glueing and spraying.
I've documented a bit of the making-of over here on: My Blog

# Amazing stuff!
Now all we need is a 3D printer and some glue. :)

A mate of mine has a makerbot - figured it was quicker to actually use the electronics though
