Subject: 3D Drum 120mm viewer in London?

Hello

I may need to borrow or rent one for a three day event in London at start of May as mine is booked for a gallery show in Brighton for that entire month.

Alternatively we can just do a loan exchange so no money changes hand.

Saying that I still have the slide mounting kit that came with the camera and there must be a way to build into a multi slide viewing system. Anyone done that?

Cheers

Well, the original Hugo de Wijs drum viewers were base on large saucepans with the handle removed and an axle added. The lamp goes in the middle and apertures are cut for the images. Then all you need are a case, lenses and a way of rotating it (perhaps a lever with a ratchet?)

 

Not too difficult for a basic model, if that will do the job.

The outer casing should be easy enough, its how to mount / change slides on the rotating inner section.

All sorts of ways! Screws, screwed plate, spring loaded plate etc etc etc.

 

Depends on how often you need to change them!

Well for the Sci-fi London film fest it would be a new set every 24hrs.

For the Brighton show - same set for a month.

I'd build it myself if I had the space in the flat.
