I agree that transparencies are not the best solution, but at least they're readily available to most people. My mock-up was made out of card stock and transparencies, and it seems to be holding up fairly well. But I like your idea of using clear lamination to give it strength; that's a lot simpler than what I was going to do (Which was make decals and put them on clear styrene sheets).

It's no problem to make a complete black and white one; it'll be a day or two at most.

I used the lamination method on all the transparent of Kim's Tools some time back, and it holds out really good, and they are pretty stiff as well.

Im not in a hurry here, so whenever you see fit - im just glad you take the time to make it
