Carpet Tiles Down

Here are some pics of my theater/tv area with the carpet tiles down.

Still need to add trim, shelves, door, and do some framing/drywalling/painting, and a drop ceiling in the entrance area. Will this EVER end?!












































Hard to get a pic in this lighting....the projected image looks a LOT better than it shows here.


















This is a little better.

He's starting to look a little more ominous now! My home made chest armor and the voice changer helmet have been replaced with better ones!

More basement progress...PROJECTOR BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!

Here are some pics of the basement. We worked HARD this weekend!!!!!!!!!


















The screen turned out GREAT! Man...I used silverscreen (behr) and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched the Empire STRIKES Back and MAN do the colours pop out now. SOOOOO much better than projecting onto white. The space scenes are BLACK and the engines are a bright red glow.

Basment Progress....

Well...worked our butts off, but we got part of the basement liveable!!!! Once we are closer to having the other side done I'll lay out carpet tiles, so the area rug will do for now. We still have to add wood for the ledge shelves, outlet covers, trim, etc....but we are a lot closer!

Some basement progress

This is my TV nook. Nice to get that beast out of the way!

















This is the window to the left of the tv wall.

















This is the wall opposite the Tv. I am going to put wood shelves along that ledge...so I can display a few things.

















The only progress on my Fett since the last post is I managed to paint the cheekbone areas on the helmet (the dark green). Here is is sporting his new armour (that has yet to be shaped and painted).






















Here are a couple Lord of the Rings swords I got for CHEAP at a liquidation store near my work. Lucky find!
