The Smugglers Room - Star Wars Themed Prop & Rec Room

Re: The Smugglers Room - Entertainment Room (Update 3/2/12)

This looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see the final results!

Oh...my....god....This is so epic! Amazing work!

God I wanna do this so bad now!

Thank you guys!

I started building a small Vacuform table last night. weaselhammer, posted a great link above for a stellar table, and once the spring heats up my frigid shop, i will certainly be building one of those. But for now, I think this will do the trick for me.

At any rate, not a huge update as far as the room goes, but this will pay off when Trying to finish the ceiling pattern . . . better than the pain staking gluing, sanding, and sealing of all the wood panels.:eek

(By the way, for those of you that have built one, if you see I am doing this wrong let me know. I still have to put the rubber seal around the top, and build the frame for the plastic, but i think this is right :confused)

Ok, so for most of you this may not be much of an update, but for me this is huge!!!!! SteveStarkiller has been helping me out with, what i consider, the holy grail of this ridiculous project. I wanted the Red Death Star console in my basement. Obviously this is a monster piece, but he was able to size it to fit my basement without losing any of the "AMAZING" qualities of it. I just received pack "A" from him today, all the measurements and dimensions to build this bad boy below. VERY EXCITED!!! I know it will be a bit before it is fully assembled, and i know i put up an image of it before, but this one is much more detailed.

So, if you ever need a recreation, and detailed plans to work off of for something, Starkiller is the man!!!

What is the planned function of the Death Star panel? Will it control or do anything special?

Absolutely incredible :thumbsup

Thank you, glad you like it, can't wait to have a Denver area RPF Prop Party in it!

What is the planned function of the Death Star panel? Will it control or do anything special?


Well sir, other than being a really cool prop to have:lol:loll:loll it will have some functionality. I have said before that my home audio video system has Crestron in it, Control Systems for Home Automation, Campus & Building Control by Crestron Electronics , and with this product i can tie different aspects of control into the entire project. What does this mean :confused Well, it means that every button, switch, lever, etc will have a function to it. So the space is totally interactive. Lighting control, Audio Video Control, etc, will all be accessible from the Death Star Panel.

I have been saving various sound effects from the movies, and other sicfi effects that will be routed and powered via my system, as well as lighting scenes. In addition, the control panel will house two LCD displays that can run every source in the house; Apple TV, Direct TV, and so on.

So, long story short, I hope it will serve as a great accent to the room, but double as an elaborate "geeky" control panel:love

. . . and by the way, i have received some expert help from Phillip, and the result arrives today:eek:eek:eek I will post images tonight, as Fedex is scheduled to deliver by 5:00 pm!!!!

A very BIG thank you to you Phillip, this is going to, in the words of Jeffery Lebowski, "Really Tie the Room Together"

Cheers,

Re: The Smugglers Room - Entertainment Room (Update It Really Ties the Room Together!

I continue to be blown away by this build. It has alway been a dream to turn my Media/Prop room into something themed like this but I always chicken out at the idea.

Truly impressive and I cant wait to see the final result.

Sir, you have no idea how bad i want that. I came down with a bug this last week, and it totally ruined my last weekend. I have two more panels to knock out, and then the door to the rack room, then i can prime and paint.

As always, thanks for looking!!

As long as no one urinating on the sign you're good.

Project is coming along nicely!
 
Re: The Smugglers Room - Entertainment Room (Update: It Really Ties the Room Together

Well folks, the room got a bit of a delay. I was sick for almost two weeks, and then we received an early spring around here, and my "honey-do-list" kicked into full gear. (yard work, home projects, etc. basically things my wife felt needed more attention than her husbands spaceship, :confused)

At any rate, things will be a bit interesting over the next month, as I am really close to being able to get some paint on these panels, in between real life projects. But, gotta keep my lady happy, it is the only way i am guaranteed the choice to keep working. Can't really complain, she approved it after all:lol

So, this weekend I was able to get a 1/2 day in, and started getting the door worked on. It has a bit of work before its finished, and a fair amount of clean up from some minor mistakes, but overall its coming along nicely.

Re: The Smugglers Room - Entertainment Room (Update: The Door)

I want this room!

Me too,:lol, it feels like i am never going to get paint on these panels!!!

Door is looking awesome! :D

Thank you man, it has a long way to go, but i did get the sliding rail for it. I hope i can get it up and test fit it this week.

I only have a few more pieces to assemble, :cry and then i can finally start sanding these things down, and applying a good old coat of grey primer. Updates soon I hope!
 
Re: The Smugglers Room - Entertainment Room (Update: The Door)
