The "real" Lost Highway Emergency Line....
Thanks to Phet and some of the other guys here on klov for inspiring me to do a little bit more with that old bakelite phone other than just hang it on the wall.
I took some wood from an old truck bed(same wood I used for the crossbeams on my utility poles) and made "The Lost Highway Emergency Booth". The theory is, if you were lost and in need of some protection from the UFO's, you'd get on the phone and dial up the "Missile Command" in hopes they could help you.
I made the booth to look kind of rickety, like its been there for a LONG time. I secured it to the back wall, so its good and stable, though.
I added some cool things like that "eye", which is actually a shrinkwrap machine eye; but to me it looks like a military camera. Also, the old loudspeaker, which does work; and I plan to hook it up to a stereo so I can "broadcast" over it.
I don't know if I'll keep the downed pilot in there permanently or not. Thought it would be nice to add him into the photo-mix.
I'm not done with the booth. I need to finish the backdrop of flyers, and also put in a header; maybe it will simply say "emergency line", and I'll add a strobe light for some creepy lighting effects. Here's one pic, the rest are on my photobucket page.....
Any ideas for the header are sure welcome.....
