do it all over again

Added the forward lower face-plate and several coats of primer last several days;

those armature ends are , (stop think of a nice word) tough!

still some sanding along the upper to do


here's the filler I'vebeen using, beginning to think it might be time to look for something else


anyway, another day or two of sanding and filing

TOS MEGO Bed drawings

Several people have asked (actually nobody has asked but anyway) where I got my drawings for this project.  I did extrapolate my own drawings based upon screen captures.  Measuring the angles and relative lengths I came up with these.  I probably did more but these are what I can still find.



Again these are just my best guesses having studied screen captures.

I've been sanding and then putting primer on, each time I see something else to fix


Part of me wants to put a coat of resin on top of this for strength and durability.

Other part of me thinks that'd be overkill...

more pics of the front piece

Found some more closeup pics of bed, these from Journey to Babel and Naked Time




Little more detail than seems at first glance
