This stage design from Rusty Burchard at Ridge Church in Charlotte, North Carolina reminds me of toys I had as a kid.
This set, consisting of interlocking circles might be a great do-it-yourself version of Mio Nomad Set. Rusty cut 2′ circles out of ridged “gator foam” then notched the side so they could interlock together. He cut half circles to act as bases for the structure.
You could use MDF painted white, but it would be considerably heavier.
Rusty used 6 LED pars to add color and shadow. Three on each side.
What’s “gator foam” and how were the circles cut?
Here is the link to what Gator foam is…

Material is kind of expensive. It’s made near Charlotte so I get factory rejects.
Circles are cut with a dremel tool with a circle cutter attachment.
That’s really cool. Great job!
This is really beautiful Rusty.
How big are the circles?
Very Nice look
They are 2 feet in diameter.
Do you think you could use large pizza cardboards painted white as a less expensive version?
Sure. Just make sure the bottom ones can support the weight of the top.
Or hang them?
Maybe glue them together and hang them from the ceiling. We didn’t have the option. I think there is a ton of options. Love to see what you come up with.
Now this may be considered a aspect, nonetheless I consider there’s anything further happening.
