After seeing what /u/SgtDwightSchrute1 built the other day, I wanted to give it a go as well! I took most of the parts he used and linked in his thread, but I went with a few more switches as well as a set of POV buttons that have a mode switch to switch them from POV directions to an X-Y axis. The Green button is for the POV mode, and I also moved the Mode LED to the face of the box so you can tell what mode it is in.

I also added some vinyl carbon fiber wrap to give it a nice finish!

The LED is a 5mm Green 18mcd with a holder I had around, but any LED would work, just don't go super bright!

Having this on your wall for your garbage disposal would be amazing!

Intro

This is an overview of how I made a roughly 60% scale AIM-9L Sidewinder floor lamp for my little brother's 9th birthday.

My wife and I didn't just want to get him yet another Lego set, so this is what we decided on after trying to think of something unique, somewhat useful, and relatively inexpensive. This project ended up grossly over-budget and took about 2 weeks of working in the evenings after my real job to put together. Most of that time was spent watching paint dry and figuring out how to make this thing look decent. This was definitely a labor of love, and I would have given up almost as soon as I started if I hadn't known that he was going to absolutely love it.

I got the idea from this website, but I did not purchase or follow their plans in any way. I pretty much just looked at the photos on their website and walked around the hardware store figuring how I could make somethig like this work. This being the case, I cannot in good conscience post the exact numbers, drawings, plans, or templates I made in the process of making this lamp. If you would like to build something like this but are uncomfortable with working these things out on your own, I encourage you to check out the website mentioned above.

I do feel comfortable sharing the reference images I found with simple google searches like this, so I compiled the images that I found most useful in this imgur album..

Overall, apologies for less than stellar photo quality, I have an infamous HTC M9 with a cracked lens cover and I would drastically improve the lighting in my shop area if I owned the space. I think most of the photos get the point across though...

   Observations
   
   If I were to do something like this again, I would try to improve in the following areas:
   
   

• Be better at painting.
  
• Make sure the flat panels are totally flat, I had one with a rounded edge that made fitting the slots difficult.
  
• Seriously, I suck at painting.
  
• Drill switch mounting hole after painting stencils.
  
• Cut some slots in the front fins - inside the pipe - to wrap wire around for strain relief without wasting so much length of wire.
  
• Find a better way to cut the longitudinal slots for fitting the fins. You can see some gaps between the pipe and the fins.
  
• Find a better solution for the stencils. Not everybody has access to a CNC laser and mine didn't work all that great anyways.
  
• Different yellow paint for the front stripe.
  
  Conclusion
  
  Overall, I consider this project to be a success. It took him a second to figure out WTF is this thing, but after he got over that he absolutely loves it! I heard him say that he's going to put it by his desk and use it when he's building his model airplanes :)
