Nestlé Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Here is the conference room. It also has a "computer" that they can pull the screen out and draw on. The second floor has quite a bit to talk about. The staircase shot is pretty obvious of the lights I put into the base. Also, hidden just next to the staircase is Ray Palmer. The trophy room has the following displays: Penguin's umbrella, Starro the Conqueror, Kryptonite & Prometheus III's helmet. Also I tore the sound board off of one of those books where you push the button that corresponds to the picture. I took it apart, switched all the pictures and added sound to the base. Also, perched on top of Starro you can see Changeling/Beast Boy in bird form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Awesome work. What material did you use to build this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 That's really cute, and a lot more fun then any offical playset would likely be.... I especially did the magnodoodle-esque computer screen. The kids can customize the screen to the mission they've just made up! So cool!

Nestlé Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Alright, here's the last update of pictures from phase one. This is the equipment room on the third floor. All of the lights work magnetically (meaning they're off when a magnet is touching them), so I attached magnets to each of the weapons and you can toss them on the magnetic weapons wall. The Hall is made primarily of pressboard, plywood, dowling and plasticard. I did however break it at one point. I took a big chunk of plywood and drilled him on. If you look at the back it looks kinda sloppy because of that but we'll keep that our little secret. Phase 2 will probably be a birthday present or something. With it will come more characters (at least 4) and we'll be expanding the hall to the right. So stayy tuned I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I didn't want to ask before Christmas, as not to jinx anything, but...how did you keep this project hidden from young eyes? Secret laboratory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well one of the delays I ran into was that the water company replaced something here in the house and caused a flood. We had to stay in a hotel while they fixed it. During that time it stayed in the garage, but was a pain to come all the home to work on. Once we moved back I moved it into the TV room because, well Canadian winters suck and my hands were freezing working in the garage. We kept the door closed most of the time, but Chance did come into the room at one point. Luckily we kept a blanket over it and he had no idea what it was. Phew! No easy feat though Shane. That's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
