The Tattooine Lounge

Well, I started making what I want to resemble the air filter things in the background on the bench of the falcon. Here are a few shots of the early concepts.



I then got distracted because of a currency issue. I wanted a specific set of lights and I couldn't grasp the idea of spending $20+ per light. So, I distracted my thoughts of that and decided to make a new work tray. Yes, it will be "themed"...

Here are some of the in progress results of this distraction..

First we had to cut out the part we didn't need.



I then (sort of) added some bondo to smooth it out a bit even though it shouldn't ever be seen by clients.



I then flipped it and used some of my previous knowledge from the Bin to get some lighting in a cool place.



What's nice to know, is that the Death Star fits where I wanted it to.



And of course, the lights are still being trivial but the holes are there now and we can start moving forward!



I started working on the supports for the second level (that I just have to have).

Decided to make the support columns as complicated as I could with what knowledge I have and made these..



Here is the idea with the second shelf added.




Remember those lights I've been wanting but couldn't bring myself to buy them?

I found a cheaper and not as amazingly awesome as the expensive ones, but they still work and I feel more accomplished..

Here you go with this discovery..



I then used some ornament globes I found a while back that I cut the tops out of them like so..



Some of you see where I'm going with this already, for those who don't, here's more



to be continued....

I then painted them chrome..



Used some transparent model paint..



Some of those took, some didn't. I'll put that in another piece.

I then added a diffuser (piece of transfer paper) and an LED and voila!



Here's the other colors not lit but same difference.



I got some more but I'll add that at a later date.



Here's a night shot with the bubble lamps lit.

Thank you sir. You should see what I just figured out tonight.. I might post that sooner than later but I got a few more things to check on but I might be able to get those concentric expanding circle deigns inside the lens without too much effort. I know ai can get at least 2 of them.. HA!

Oh yeah, I am totally jealous of Fuzzy for getting to drop in and get some hands on..

Thank you kind sir. This has turned into quite an adventure and I am loving every minute of it!

Just a FYI, I’m still working on the lounge and a lot has been going on in my life and I have a really bad tendency to not update. Just a preview of the soon to be up coming post.

Trust me, I’m still chipping away at the bench...
