Carbon Freezing Chamber (not my work)

[nacho]

Disclaimer: I'm not shilling for these guys, just an admirer.

These enterprising guys are selling a few kits of some crazy Bespin floors and stairs (computer designed, laser-cut). I'm on the list to buy one, and I thought there might be one or two SW guys around here that might have some remote interest. (no, I don't yet know what they cost; I'll edit when I learn).

The freezing chamber scenes from ESB are likely some of the most dramatic and interesting in the entire movie franchise (IMO). The detail on these parts is sick. Just add your own orange plexiglass and a light source for some unreal dio potential.

Are you kidding me? That is super slick. If I had space I'd get a ton of them.

Oh wow!...yeah, add some lights and dry ice for some serious bada$$edness!

 

[Keenan]

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

I think he's only making ten, so if you want one, better fire off an email.

Can't wait to build around this thing, just screaming for some dramatic lighting. Bespin is the best locale in the SW universe. It's just got a little of everything.

that is really killer looking

very cool.

I imagine that'll be rather expensive, no?

 

[nacho]

Not sure yet, but I suspect you are quite correct. This gentleman made an initial small run of these last year, and IIRC the floor and stairs were $100 and $20 respectively, and I don't think that version had the upper level on it.

So I highly doubt these will be cheap... but I figure that if I tried to fabricate something like this myself, the time and materials would quickly add up, and I'd end up wishing I'd just ponied up for one of these.

So apparently, the whole thing is $160 shipped. He also has some really nice laser cut death star hallway panels, bespin windows, etc that are fantastic looking too. I might have to pick some of those up down the road. I'll see how this carbon freeze chamber setup goes first. I think it'll make some awesome dio setups.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Yeah, that chamber looks great, but... $160 just seems like a lot of money for it IMO. I have a set of the Death Star Walls from a few years ago, and they are fantastic.

I think I'm going to get a set of those too while he's got them available. This stuff is too slick to pass up. I agree it's not cheap, but it would be a nightmare to try to engineer these from scratch without some kind of laser or industrial tooling equipment.
