Star Wars-Themed Mancave

[cgrtist]

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting so be nice! I started on my mancave build about 2 months ago. My only chance to work on it was after work and on the weekends.

I used 1/2. MDF board and 1/4 hardboard for the panels. There are plenty, behind-the-scenes pictures on my website\blog too.

Hope you guys like it.

That looks amazing! I'd half expect Vader and a couple of stormtroopers to burst into that room any second.

Amazing work! I'm going to check out the website for more behind-the-scenes pictures.

I have seen some really good home theatre custom set ups, but this is the best one I've seen in a long time.
Very well done, I'll have to have a look at your behind the scene pics.

Thanks for all the kind words!! The final step in completing this room is to make the pocket door motorized. And I have no idea how to pull this off. Lol

You would need to have a look at servo city, I'm sure there would be something that could help out over there with some ideas.

That is unreal! I have a vision in my head of how I want my future movie room to look... yours is better than my unrealistic fantasy! Incredible work.

Thanks for a nod toward Servo City. I have a very good idea of how to get the door moving! They have some good videos on YouTube too. As I am new to the world of servos, actuators, motors, etc. It's nice to see some of the stuff in action. This has only spawned a world of new ideas!

That's how it started with me as well. I had a vision, then kept refining it in my 3d software (blender). My main thought was, "Is this something that I can make in my garage with little effort?".

I decided to go with the AutoSlide Door slider. It came out really well I think.

Just incredible. So well done. What are the dimensions of the room? Was it a pre-existing space or did you subdivide a room?
Love it!

I was lucky in that my basement is in an "L" shape. This room is set around the corner from the rest of the basement. (Thus why my wife let me have it.) The room is 16 x 10, shave off 4" on each side due to the panels. With the ceiling panels taken down, the room is 8" high.

Thanks for the info. Something to shoot for but it would be a garage project for me. Would love a basement!
