The room is now starting to take actual shape as a room rather than just be a communications console desk.


So you can see from this picture I've placed panels where the doors will be. I have also added the inner wall as well as the desk and the server bank including plug sockets on the wall.



The desk colour will be changed, i've been using placement parts to see how it would look.

Hope you guys like the updates. If you think of anything I might of missed or want to see please post a reply, as I might not of thought to include it.

This is still a work in progress and is nowhere near finished yet.

Cool.

Very very nice work.

Have you mentioned where you're getting the LEGOs? Are you just scavenging pre-existing sets or ordering specific parts from them? If the latter, care to mention part numbers and prices? A lot of these ideas are definitely swipeable.

Very crisp, I love it.

That would work well for Comm room, submarine rooms, heck, even aboard any starcraft.

Excellent.

Hey thanks for all the comments so far, always appreciated when people see the time spent and money on something. I really find it a challenge

I might of mentioned this before, but if not it can't hurt to share. The place I order from is bricklink. http://www.bricklink.com/

I can offer people how-to's, i've done this in the past when building my soda machine and other projects. The how-to's also include parts numbers and instructions and pictures.

Bricklink is similar to ebay in that you can shop for lego specific pieces, figures or parts and buy from a seller directly, of course the other option is to scavenge from other existing sets. Sometimes thats the only way to acquire certain pieces, especially if they are 'promotional' but i'd imagine most building projects are done using either PAB or Bricklink.

The legoshop.com online has the pick a brick feature (PAB) it's like picknmix but with legos Lego take a little longer in shipping your stuff out because they have more orders to get through but they are very good when they arrive.

The communications room is my 2nd building project and will be worked on alot more when i've completed the shipping container build. I'd like to finish that in full before i do any more on the comms room. If your interested in seeing how I built up the consoles or a specific furniture item just let me know and i'll run through the parts list.

Hey Rich,

I like what youve done so far. Very creative.

As for the tv monitors- I dont know feasible it will be to do, but I think a central square gantry in the middle, with a monitor on each side would look good.
