Call the CIA and borrow one of their cockroaches with a head mounted camera - sweet.

I've got a black and white camera, about the size of a AA battery, that has an RCA connection (most tv's or computer screen if you have some special boxes that hook into your video card). I can't remember where I got it (some random website), but I know that it wasn't more than 30 bux. Perhaps the color camera cost has come down... doubt it. It isn't quite a fisheye, but it is wide angle.

i took these pictures from a 1/8" model with a logitech web camera. believe me, you don't want too resolute pictures for a small model. these did show me the space i was after. i assume you have a small model as well. you can use mirrors for bigger models.

thanks, but the problem is i don't need to see in there to take pictures, but for someone to look in there themselves...

I used to use something likethis. It cannot record but a good study aid. Or you can make one yourself with some chipboard.

sorry i didn't know you were selling turkish rugs...

Do you mean something like this?



Zing!!!

Mantano - You get a gold star.

How about this.... Remember the flood of ads they used to have. Plus when your done using it for a model you can become a professional voyeur. weee

Thanks, thanks much.

BTW, I figured that silver-hair for a Golden Girls era Rue Mcclanahan.

The horror of picturing sweet Southern sex kitten Blanche getting a camera up the tailpipe!

Not sure if I'd really call her "model material," though.

Damn, MM beat me to the punch!

Wow, two Rue's in one night! And here I thought my life wasn't worth living....

c'mon, the threads gone off topic.

To look inside you simply need to cut a stategically positioned aperture, void or perforation into one area of your model, place eye against said eyelet and there you go. Into that scale space like magic.

Sorry I know, but I couldn't resist.

I have no idea where you could get one now, but my department at Penn State has a 'model scope' (not sure if that's the correct name or not) which is basically a very tiny periscope. It has multiple screw-on ends for an eyepiece or different size lenses (standard film camera sizes, I believe).

I'm not sure how old it is, and thus I can't say if you'd be able to find one anywhere, but I know they were available at some point. Hope that helps.

the search function on archinect is your friend. embrace it.

Since that thread is a bit old, the first link I offered in it was dead. it was a link to a tool supply company that sold what you are looking for, c_ty; a borescope. google that and you'll find some places that rent or sell them. good luck.

i used to use one of those little dentists mirrors. it had an adjustable head which helped.

Don't you mean 'brown star'?

tablesaw...cut it in half...

then seal off the light on the camera side....

or...3ds Max7...get with it man
