First of all, what size do you want to build it? Minifig scale? lifesize? some
other scale?
For a minifig scale TV, I usually just use a black 1x2 brick, put a small
control stick on for an antenna, and maybe some kind of sticker on one side of
the brick to add realism. Ta da!
Now, if you want one on larger scale, you could use a bunch of clear bricks
for the screen and put behind that some flat design made out of bricks. Then
just surround it with black bricks. For the back, you could just use black
bricks to make a gradually inverted box, and in the very back, put bricks with
grilles. (see http://www.lugnet.com/cad/ldraw/parts/ref/ and scroll down to
part 2877 if you're not sure what I'm talking about) Then, use some kind of
hinge pieces on the top for the antennae(s). Then you can use some kind of
rotating pieces for controls and build them onto the front. Of course, you'll
want to add more details to it, and a little remote would be cool, made on a
4x8 plate with 1x1 rounds or numbered tiles(if you have any) for buttons.
If you do build a large scale TV, I'd like to see some pics when you're done.
Play well,
Tim

| (...) Thanks. I just want a minifig TV now, but maybe later I'll try the big one. Do you know where to get a sticker for the small one? 'Leg godt' -Dan (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)
