So I've had my SS X-wing for some time, built by the legendary Jason E. For years I wanted a nice display base for it. Never had time until now.
I always envisioned a death star display base as seen previously, but something with more kick to it. Hence the start of this project!
I recently finished the box that will be covered with DS tiles to emulate the surface. The SS model will obviously mount above the surface.
There will be motion activated sounds of different x-wing or R2 sounds that can be also selected by buttons. Other lighting effects will play out with the sounds, basically explosions on the surface and maybe some green turbo laser firing.
The addition is the custom X-wing targeting computer (working) screen that I will add with other lights and sounds. I tried to best emulate the screenshots seen in Ep 4.
I was thinking of putting this control panel on one of the center sides of the box, acting as a master control. This main screen will be interactive, letting the user select a couple different screens.
Here is what I have for the actual layout so far:
All the buttons will be operational, basically handling things like selecting menu items, playing individual sounds, changing volume, etc.
Let me know what you think. If anyone has additional ideas I am all ears! Been quite a long time since I have been able to put time into a personal project like this, so I am stoked...
