    • This vignette by Larry Lars is full of knobs, lever, sliders and all sorts of control devices. The use of levers in grill tiles to make sliders is an ingenious technique, something I’ll have to steal for an upcoming creation.

      Oh yeah. That’s some next level detailing. Magnificent.

      Definitely seen that lever in grille tile technique used this way somewhere before. I just wish I could remember where…

      I used a similar trick for my Thundertank controls – http://flic.kr/p/4tTpuZ – but they really just ‘floated’ in the slots. I really dig how these levers have retained their movement. Brilliant.
