Wow: Guy Builds 140-Square Foot Diorama Of The Battle Of Hoth In His Living Room (It Takes Up The Whole Thing)

February 14, 2013 / battle, color me impressed, diorama, fan, fictional battles, good lord, hoth, i was going to do something similar with my living room until i realized how much i love laying on the couch, it's colder than a witch's nips in here barry turn out the heat!, now where are you gonna put the tv?, snowy, star wars, that's some serious dedication

Because decorating means different things to different people, Star Wars fan Barry turned his entire 140-square foot living room into a diorama of the Battle of Hoth. There isn't any Photoshop in the pictures but the way, the explosions are actually lights Barry built. You really just have to see all the pictures to believe it. My coffee table has never looked so inadequate. "That's a stack of pizza boxes." IT CAN BE BOTH.

Hit the jump for bunch more pictures, a video tour of the room, and a video of how he made the explosion lights.

    This is a short video of a lightsaber battle between Darth Vader and some Jedi recruit shot in Darth Vader's first-person perspective. At least until halfway through, then it switches to the Jedi when Vader starts force-choking him out (did they exchange souls?!). It's decent... / Continue →

  • So awesome! Your explosions are great! Just a thought, maybe you can use Fire Block Fire Retardant spray and / or LED lights for little to no heat. Both together would be even better! Otherwise, your diorama is AMAZING!

    The explosion effects are awesome but to be fair, it is just a bunch of the star wars toys arranged on a background. Great fun though.

    Fantastic dio and Barry is hilarious in his very deadpan way. "Star Trek 2: The Wraith of Spock". LOL. Good one.

  • Did I really hear him say it was a recreation of a scene from Star Trek: The Wrath of Spock at 0:49 of the top video?

    It is really impressive but...

  • Impressive. Most impressive.
