Next up I wanted to add more "Boba" to the doors.....

Got some tracing paper and got my bantha skull



To transfer the logo, you just trace the back side with a lead pencil.  then you lay it on your surface and trace it again.  by pressing down on your template, it then transfers it onto your material.





Last up, I took my paint pens and colored it in. 



Just like any paint, the paint pen requires a couple of coats.  but you get the idea....

More to come!!

OK, back to work.  I am looking to finish this sucker in the next couple of days, so here we go.......

Not much to put out on this post, but the panels are built and being primered.  Now I know there are some of you that just cringed when you saw my panels.  It's OK.  Relax.... Breath in....  and remember this is a custom project.  

So if you didn't notice, the faces of my panels were put in reversed.  therefore everything is flip-floped as far as canon goes.

This was done because either
A) I put these in when I was too tired to be working.
B) It's a custom project and different is sometimes good
C) It proves that I built them myself
D) Sometimes it's the easiest things that trip you up in a project
E) All of the above

If you guessed E then you are correct.  The reality is that once I noticed that they were put in reversed I had already built them.  These panels were more work than the table itself and I was going to learn to like it as-is




Anyhow, more to come tomorrow

Getting soooo close.

Here's what goes in the panel openings.  each side has 2 pull out trays and 2 drawers with built in cup holders ( Cup holders aren't inserted yet, but trust me they will be there :wink:)



Here's what they look like with the panels installed for the drawer front.






The panel greeblies aren't all in and yes.... more custom then canon.  But hey, nothing about this is canon anyway. 

Picking up the glass in a few hours... Lets wrap this up!
