Zon Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 All of my SW stuff is in my office and I had been wanting to do more with the space besides displaying my collection. This past weekend we decided to take a couple sheets of plywood and see what we could come up with and here it is.. The panels on the wall are boxes that have LED lights in them and provide ambient lighting so the slots light up just as they do o the death star. The window would look a lot better if it were a picture window, but changing that out wasn't in the budget Not bad for $60 of material, a couple coats of paint, and a days worth of work...

mboyce Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 That is really cool. When I get my shop I want to create a space similar to this, or a Firefly theme. And I thought this thread was going to be about TPS reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 what if you put up a sheer or lite paper behind them to let the light thru but cover up the modern window? great design btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to send me that memo again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of doing something like that but it's actually a window in the front of the house and I like being able to see out of it and it would look odd from the outside if I covered up the window.

tk7713gra30 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Mate, that is brilliant, can i ask what tool you needed to get the curved top/ cut outs. I have posted my collection on here but have wanted that behind my Vader for ages, can you help. I am ok with plastic and painting but not too good with wood. ta mate gra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ok with plastic and painting but not too good with wood. ta mate gra I just used thin cabinet quality plywood, a drill, a jigsaw, and a handheld power sander. The design looks more complicated than it actually is. Eight straight lines and five circles. I had never used a jigsaw for something like this but a little patience and a new blade and the cuts were really easy. Once the design was on the plywood you just follow the lines with the jigsaw working from the inside out. I saw your collection, you sure you have room for anything else?!
