Khetanna - Jabba's Sailbarge - Scratchbuilt Custom

[x-pack]

Cheers

What I have in mind is just some low ambient type backlight. Went on Ebay and saw a business that does lighting for dolls houses. Bought a few strips for about £7. Be a good little project.

Thanks for the help on this one

Wowsers!!!!

The one good thing about being away for a while is the progress this project has made. After a drip feeding period I have just gorged on mechanical, parts, lego, lighting, primer and a level of skill and dedication that is amazing, inspiring even.

Great stuff Wboba, this thread is captivating. Its like Game of Thrones and Walking Dead mixed with a bit of Star Wars. I just cannot miss an episode

JC nailed it there brother. I last commented on page 14 i think. I've just really enjoyed going through everything since then (apart from reading about the drops and breakages )
Your craftsmanship is first class, truly inspiring.

Wow, I am absolutely blown away.

That will be a thing of beauty when finished. Your sculpting and crafting skills are stunning. Especially love the mini rancor, amazing detail.

Looking forward to seeing this finished, it will look fantastic.

On with the bar area. I started to build the back wall of this place. I wanted a rack for all the bottles that is backlighted. Also the Khetanna doesn't end at this place, so a door should be there to enter the nose of the ship.
I took some "garden fences" to build the backlighted area. This was a real tough work. I glued the whole thing out of 32 pieces that needed to be cut and sanded before. Two shelves were integrated for the bottles. After that I framed the whole thing and installed it into the wall. Some panneling and a door was added as well:

I bought a Playmobil sink for the bar and integrated it as well:

For the backlighted area I bought a special acryl glas with high transmission (92%). I cutted off the top of the LEDs, drilled three holes into the acrylic and glued the LEDs into these. The corners were covered with aluminium foil. To the front a yellow sheet and a "milky" sheet will be added. The last pic shows a test of the lightning right now.

I hope you like it!

The grill lighting effect looks brilliant, subdued and moody 8)

Love the fact that you've integrated a playmobil sink into a villains bar :!: nice touch of irony as well

Great update

Got to agree with Mike.

Beeing in a rush tonight: I finished the bar and the rack/wall. To say it short: Mmmmmmmmhhhh.....primer!!!

I haven't made pictures of the progress, so I will describe it shortly.
- I finished the door with some corrections. After filling and sanding it was glued into the wall. I choosed to make the door a bit open.
- The rest of the wall was corrected then...some rough cuts to the back as well
- I mounted the different foils (yellow, milky) to the acrylic 8on the edges. I built a construction were the whole thing can be removed for priming and the color job.
- The rest of the wall was filled and sanded
- The sink needed some cover paneling. This and some repairs were done.
- The bar itself was taped were the lightning is placed. The thing was filled and sanded...then primed. After that I could finally remove the tapes, bring on the yellow foil and glue the top of the bar onto it.
- The bar and the wall were screwed to the floor. The whole piece will be inserted into the barge and stay detachable. Nose, the bar scene and the middle part are now important pieces of the transition and its stability.
- The "wire- problem" was solved. Some holes 8(some wrong, some right), some brazing and some wires and the two parts are connected now.

Here it is without light but primed (mmmmmhhhhh):

Here is some details of the the integrated sink (not glued yet):

Here some pictures were the platform is inserted into the barge:

And what is better then "mmmmh...primer"?? Correct: Primer plus lightning.....="mmmmmhh²"
(plus some bottles and stuff. These will get labels, beeing painted and I still need to do that beer drawing system...so stay tuned!)

I hope you like it!
