The Picture page and the first part of the Holo Table Tutorial for the Deathstar Briefing Playset Shelf is up and ready for your viewing pleasure.

This wasn't planned to be anything more than a Playset Version but the Wacked out Bracket Idea I came up with was too tempting to pass up. I'm still contemplating whether to add a Lightbox on top ? Hmm.. You'll just hafta wait and see if....

The First of the Meramec River floods of the year is upon us. This might be the only one this year but I doubt it.

SHOP NOTE: Work is going slowly on the Briefing Table display. I've developed a bad case of Tennis Elbow and have had to cut back on shop time. I hope to have enough done for an update soon.

I told my son after his room was painted we would make a shelf for it. About 2 weeks ago he held me to my word and here's the result.

It has been brought to my attention by Michael and the gang over at starwarscollectorbase.com that my tutorial on the Deathstar Hall Shelf is incomplete.

Since they have honored me by translating some of my projects ("Work Shops" as they refer to them as) into German it seems I have forgotten to write up the pages for the interior componants...OOPS !!

I plan to remedy this soon and also make even more additions to the project.

Show this to your wife if you need ammo to get your own Star Wars Wood Shop.

Just say Honey look what else I can do.

Well were leaving for Florida tomorrow and UTFD isn't quite done yet. I should have it up soon after we get back. You'll see why this is taking so long once it's up. There will be lotsa thing to see and read as I am coming at it from every angle possible.

In the meantime here's the Corner Computer to check out... Enjoy !!

Rodger

I have four of the Echo Base Computers almost done. I can't find a shot of the left side so I will just hafta make something up. The other four will be skinned different when I can get around toit...Around toit's are tuff to find around here lately.

For those of you that haven't seen them yet The Mini TIE Displays are up.. I miss'm already !!

I'm putting the finishing touches on the UTFD. I thought I had it done but there was something missing?  I spent the last week correcting the oversight and hope to get the final pics shot this weekend. 

Rodger

The end of what I am now calling The Ultimate TIE Fighter Display is at hand.

The last of the pieces to this puzzel are coming together but with so many Irons in the fire at this time I can't say when it will be so....

Stay Tuned !!

Rodger

I have Eight wider versions of the Echo Base Computers in paint.

Even though there only 3/8 of an inch wider as you can see that makes a big difference in appearance.

Now all they need are some Photoshop panels to finish them up, so it's time to get back to work...

Rodger

These were going to be the start of my next project Echo Base shelf display.

I have been refurring to them as the thin men because after roughing them out I realized (after re-examining ESB) that they were too narrow.

Too Cool to trash I finished them anyway. A wider version is in production....

Stay Tuned !!

Rodger

An Update to the TFD Control Panels is up.

This is something that needed to be done like too soon.

Rodger

A new addition to the TIE Fighter Display is up at Computer Terminals

The TFD Control Panels are the first of a number of computers to reside in the TIE Shelf portion of the Display.
