Well, where to start. I guess I am now taking my obsession to the next level and making it into my actual work environment. I'll get to entertain others as well as live out my own little fantasy. I love Star Wars and sci-fi all together as well as a bit of horror so, I am going to make what I think a person in the Star Wars universe would go to get a tattoo. My occupation is that of a tattoo artist and I wanted to build an area that resembled some of my favorite scenes from Star Wars and have it for my clients to see/touch/experience. That led to some big dreams but nothing I thought that would actually manifest…. I then made the Bespin Bin, which was a workspace that I decided to make resemble areas of Bespin, but wound up adding some ANH references with the “garbage chute”. You can also look up the build here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=248118
I will be adding my drawings to the forum as well as soon as I size the rest of the photos for this thread..
Thanks for looking..
I then went on to make a shelf that was to hold my soak tray. This has more of an ANH Death Star feel to it, which I don’t mind.
I decided to add a shelf for my soak tray to open up more area for figurines... LOL..
I wanted to have a feel of ANH with the shelf. I added a tube in the back to run the wiring.
Testing the lighting..
Adding some greeblies and pin striping tape.. I'd love to eventually add lighting to the buttons. That is a whole new mountain to climb.
Han and Chewie approved..
Then it went to work.
Underside greeblies that added a little flair..
That led to me taking an old sharps container with glove box attachment and modifying it to blend in with it’s new home. I wrote “Biohazard” and “Gloves” both in Aurebesh.
This was one of the wall mount units that were in the back and not in use due to lost key.. I took it and started to add some flair to it and make it fit in more..
The lock was removed and I added magnets to hold the access panel closed.
I then started with the greeblies..
I also added stenciled lettering, which I now have a new way of doing this which will be way more effective and precise...
The stencils are in Aurebesh and say "Biohazard" and "Gloves"
After I had to "smooth" out the edges of the biohazard symbol, the polycoat of acrylic made some of the paint run. This at first really made me mad but after a few minutes I realized how cool it really looked and added to the piece.
Here it is installed in my office.
While all of this has been going on, I’ve been discussing more additions to my booth with studio owner and I’ve been given full autonomy of my office. So, here comes the Tattooine (tattooing) Lounge.
Here is my office present day (minus some of the additions)
This is all about to change... It will be a slow process but I hope all will look good and will keep adding to this thread as often as possible.. The reason I'm making it public is to keep me working on it... LOL... If not,I'll procrastinate.
Now that that is all out of the way...
Let's begin with the new shelf that is currently in progress...
Working on a shelf that is going to sit on top of the filing cabinet and will be my new book shelf. I plan on having lighting and some other additions as well.. I'd love to add light patterned effects but that will come soon enough.
These are going on the outside of the shelves to give it a more industrial feel.. I have more pictures to add but haven't sized them yet.. Just thought I'd get this out there and start rekindling the fire under my buttocks to start working again on my office.
