Not a lot got done today. I did get some 1/8" paneling and decided to cover the inside door. Having a traditional two panel door just doesn't fit the room. I was thinking it would be cool to have one of those door size posters but make it look like a Death Star corridor!
I'll paint it gray for now then figure out what to do with it later.
I was able to mount all 7 speakers and test some new paint. I wanted to go a little darker than what I initially had, I'm glad I did, color looks great.
I have some minor finishing work left, then I can get the painting done. But before that, I couldn't resist watching ESB!

I was finally able to get all the painting done, what a relief! I installed all the vent covers and painted the screen housing, cord hiders, and control panel black. This looks so much better than I imagined. I still have a few things left before this project is done, got some ideas for the front wall, a DVD cabinet, and some pipes I want to run across the ceiling. The best thing about getting to this point is I can FINALLY use it to watch movies, play XBOX, and start moving all my lifesized figures, cabinets, and collectibles up.

Thanks!
Trying to finish this up, but its been a slow week. One of my original ideas was to build a DVD rack into the wall, but it just wasn't going to work like I had envisioned, so I went with plan B. I found a hanging garage wall cabinet and figured it would work just fine. I added a third shelf so I have plenty of DVD space. I didn't get carried away with the my AV components either, just went with a simple cabinet. I wanted to tie the two together, so I took a trip to Lowe's and bought about $50 in plumbing and irrigation supplies.
After messing around with some ideas, this is what I came up with.
It's nothing specific, just trying to sell the theme and bridge the gap between the two pieces. I made a little fuel window with a water bottle, some yellow food dye, and a tiny bit of milk to make it a little cloudy. I also added four yellow LEDs to the bottom of the bottle, a solid red, a blinking red, and a solid green to the front, and a switch to the side of the pipe for more effect.
I'm not done with this yet, still have a few other ideas to finish on it, but wanted to show the progress. I'll likely end up painting it all black and maybe add some labels. I'm thinking about doing the fuel window to the overhead pipes when I get to that point, that was my original idea anyway when I thought of it. It was also nice to finally get a few of the cabinets moved up.

Love the idea, the lighting is a great addition, to trick up the tech level and keep it within the SW universe

Also going to try this:
With this and some left over plexiglass:
Not going to spend a lot of time on this, but wanted to give it a shot.
Thanks! Great idea, but in the interest of time, I'm just going to make it all black.

Was able to finish the painting on the pipes and move all the life-sized figures up today. I still need to add a few more details to the media cabinet, I have a few hoses, boxes, and some other misc pieces.
Also got most of my cabinets organized, as you can see I am more into the vintage figures and vehicles. I am pretty picky about what I get, definitely want the boxes and they need to be in good shape. I had all these when I was a kid and having them again like this brings back great memories. My figures are all original vintage but obliviously recarded. I'm really glad I did it though, love how they display.
I didn't realize how much space my lifesize figures would take up when I was building this, kind of a shame that so much of the walls are covered, but I think it still looks great.
I still need to make the red wall control panel, so I'm real close to being done. I'm also working on a lifesize Alec Guinness EPIV Obi and a Sandtrooper.
Oh, and what theater doesn't have a snack bar!
