Death Star Panels

[db94]

Thought I'd share a wee project that's moving along nicely.
My wife (also a huge SW fan) and I liked the idea of have Death Star panels somewhere in the house. Finally decided they would look great in our bedroom.

6mm MDF with various sized cutouts on a wooden frame. The frame will allow us add LED strip lights and a sheet of acrylic

My wife is picking the paint for the panels and wall, probably going with a nice dark grey.

I'll update as we add the parts and paint.

Looking forward to seeing how these turn out, Col

You sir are lucky lucky man indeed, when I build my office/man room I might just do the same. Make sure you use high quality lighting strips that don't go yellow or fail easily as it would be a ball ache to fix once everything is in place.

Please do some updates with the project

Mate that is so cool, love this kind of thing. Can't wait to see the end result. I've seen a group called Star Wars room builders which has some interesting work. I'm putting a sliding door between my kitchen and utility room and thinking about making it a Star Wars door.

I'm in that group, some off the chart amazing builds on there mate.
I've kinda stalled a wee bit with this only because I'm pissed off the cutouts are too narrow. Should have made them a bit wider to be more screen accurate.
Deciding between starting again or cracking on and see what the look like painted
