Thanks again for the kind words guys. Jason, borrow away my friend. A friend here sent me a link to the build you are talking about. It looks great and yea that ploter is awesome.

Hey, I think I've got some wall panels you don't have. I know I've got this wide wall panel that looks almost like a door. I'd be willing to let you borrow any wall panels your missing in order to make a mold & resin cast.

Thanks Jason. I do have that panel but have not used it yet. Now the problem is I have been talking to MR. Lazer and he plans to get back into production and will be selling these again. So he has asked me NOT to cast and offer these for sale. So my casting is on hold, for now. I want to honor his request as long as he actualy makes these available again. If he doesn't I may be casting these anyway. I feel mine are different from his now even though I started with his creation. Mine will also cost more as I have done all the work for you and casting will cost more than MDF board. I still plan to sculpt the control panel and offer those for sale. Not sure what the future holds at this point, I will finish my dio but the panels won't be for sale from me at this point. Feel free to chime in amd let me know what everyone thinks about this situation.

I think he needs to get busy!  I had no idea these were even available until you posted them.

Demand is so high for these walls and other pieces Mr Laser makes, but i have to say that if he doesnt get back into production soon, very soon, then you should cast those suckers.

Disgusting..... THAT"S how I would describe my underwear after seeing more pix of this awesome work. You are the man, L.E.!

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks for the kind words guys! I agree, I hope these will be for sale one day. I wanted to share these pics of a few panels combined with the floring material I will be using.










Shiney huh?



Now for something completely different. I sold my old background walls for the Rebel Base so I want to scratch build a new one. It will be a generic base, not from a film, that can serve many purposes. I want it to have elements we have seen in various hangar bays/keep with traditional SW design. Below are the first WIP pics and I would love to hear some feedback. Do the purple girders look too real life like or are they OK? I kinda like how they break up the wall.

Spry the DS walls with the glossy floor looks excellent. The hanger is coming along great and I personally like the girders.

LE, this looks seriously cool, and another large pace forwards in your skills.

I'll be keeping my eye on this project...

The Imperial Set is PERFECT!  Love the flooring.

The purple girders look fine.  It's probably the color that's weirding you out.   Once everything is painted, you won't even question.  Can't wait to see what it looks like finished!

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks for the votes of confidence guys. I went thru all my fodder bins looking for large pieces to create wall textures like you see in hangarbays with little success. I have some great pieces for random machinery though! So I went shopping at 2 thrift stores then lowes with great success. Also hit the dollar tree to se if they had any other choices for lights. BIG SCORE! I bought 7 of these awesome led lights because that is all they had. I will be going back for more of these in a few days. This is how they look.






Now for a little fun.








My camera battery died after these pics. I stayed up late and started cutting pieces to fit and gluing them together. I am about half way done with the back wall at this point and am pretty happy with how it is turning out. The plan is to take some pics durring lunch today to catch up with the progress. Stay tuned!

[Luke Sprywalker]

OK, this is what I have so far. I got 100 stainless steel coffee filter circles from a friend that makes washable filters. Cut them down and hot glued them to the back of the paver edging used at the bottom. Then I painted 2 different size dowel rods and glued them to the back of the edging. There is just enough light to see it thru the screen. Then I cut all the pieces I had decided on to fit the angled sides of the girders. I don't want to go any highier until I decide on another holding tank and do all the plumbing. The 3/4 inch PVC will also be run across the top of the back wall. I am trying to decide on colors to use so I have painted a few pieces black and some grey. I am thinking many shades of those colors and some silver for the most part. I also need to go study some of Hangarbay94's wall textures for some ideas. So, on with the pics!

[hemble]

I think this is looking awesome Spry and great pick ups on the odds and ends pieces. There isn't anything on the dio that doesn't look like it should not be there and this is going to look amazing with the vehicles and figures on it.

If I were an action-fig, I'd want to work here.

[Tamer]

I think Doc got it right as far as I am concerned. Brilliant Spry. Time for an fper.
