DIY 'Polaroid' Film

[ektachrome]

Hi guys
Today I was thinking - DIY Polaroid type film.
So far, I have this:

Use Direct Positive film/paper
Thickened monobath developer in foil pod
= instant photo

also:
use normal negative film + monobath
find way of image transfer between film and coated paper base.

Could anyone add to these ideas, and maybe make this a reality.
How would I go about transferring negative image to paper to form positive, and how would I make a thick monobath.
Would colour be possible this way? (e6?)
I will try to contact Impossible, Fujifilm, Ilford and some old Polaroid workers.

Good night and Merry Christmas

ZAM...just had a thought...MONOBATH for direct positive paper MAY increase speed to be within actual usable range....as I remember the monobaths from a LONG time ago..they had the effect of increasing effective film speed...like as a normal side effect of standard operation...this is DEFINITELY worth looking into--not making "polaroids" but maybe some kind of daylight filmholder/developing tank/monobath arrangement where you use the dir pos paper and then are able to process in a few minutes in a monobath....

the New 55 project is heading down that way, there was a formula based on HC110 and household ammonia, you could try using methyl cellulose as a thickener, they suggested experimenting with KY jelly!
