My Home Theater On A Budget

Yes, seen those ones they look good.

My only problem at the moment is that the 3mm clear and opal perspex I used is way way to thick ... I am trying to source a thinner 1mm material or acetate etc and am having problems find a thinner material.

A thinner material would make it easy to change out the posters... with the thick 3mm stuff I uses it's a pain to change posters as it is harder to bend and work with than thinner stuff.
