Y-Wing Dad/builder's Comments

Thanks for the comments! The popularity of our Star Wars room is exploding this week (after having the house on the market for 6 weeks). Yes, this is a kids room. You can go to the house website to bedroom 2 to see all 10 pictures of it. http://ourvisaliahouse.com/ It took me about a year to complete working weekends, etc. The room is 11x13 and the ship covers almost the entire space. We have 9 foot ceilings so the bottom-most part of the ship is 6 feet off the ground which left 2.5 feet above the mattress. Perfect! Pictures dod not do this justice! My 14 year-old has friends lined up at the door just to see it and play in it! The cockpit has a computer joystick (oh, I can hear the jokes already-sigh) wired to a toy blaster gun I carefully split in half and screwed to the underbelly. So lights and blaster sounds (7 total) come from the two main buttons on the joystick. Me and a friend (over 400 pounds) tested the strength of it by hanging off the loft and off the area between the cockpit and the bed - SOLID!! Didn't move a millimeter or make a sound! The concept is: the Y-Wing is leaving a docking bay to head out and fight a battle around the Death Star. The fourth wall (which is from camera position in the above picture) is space with a painting of a small battle scene around the Death Star. You can see there is a window above the bed (I photographed it at night on purpose). On the same wall is the entertainment center with misc cabinets for storage of xbox, etc and a 32 inch LCD-very cool! Instead of bedroom furniture, I used garage furniture to go with the docking bay theme. It was fun making it and the cost was about $2000 (not including the TV).
