Re: The Smugglers Room - Entertainment Room -I NEED YOUR HELP!?!?!?!?
I like the one on the right. Some sides of the room might look better with the lighter color though, don't be afraid to mix your walls. I agree 100% that less is more, you don't have to weather every panel. Make sure some of your weathering goes in different directions on some panels to simulate the randomness. You've got a very sharp eye, so you'll be able to figure out what looks best. Decide which panels get the most "traffic" and use. In your poker area, you might want to go lighter. Definitely darker in the movie area.
Thank you DS, this is well thought out, and I like where your heads at. Its great advice, I really appreciate it.
I just had a thought. What are you planning on doing about lighting the different areas? That might play a bit into your decision. Work lights brighter than room lights sorta thing.

The lighting is coming from a large mix of devices:
- I will have the large poker table lighting in the room center, but that is just for the table. It will however, have some special up lighting from it that will accent the ceiling slightly.
- I will additionally have 6 small in-ceiling lights on a separate dimmer. These will be mostly for times when I need more light in the room.
- Flashing Lights: I plan on several of these, pretty much everywhere, but these are mostly for decor.
- Each panel on the south wall will have a small light at the top, to help illuminate the panel, and then another small light at the base that will cast light along the floor. It will look cool, and offer light along the floor to see.
- Finally, the display cabinet will have lighting, for the replicas and collection.
