Check out the legs on this one....

Things have been very busy lately. My wife is within three weeks of her due date. We are frantically trying to move, transfer, clean, squeeze and stuff things in such a way that will allow us to add one more person to this house.  We are starting to realize that our days of traveling outside the house are going to be limited. That means one thing..I will need to invest in a PS3 and a new big new LED TV. For the kid's and the family of course.  Making sure that they are well entertained is a sacrifice I must make.

The latest photos updating me on the progress of Jack's AT-AT bed have surfaced. I received these in my email just last night and really need to show you how things are going. Hopefully you will agree with me that these might be some of the best legs you will ever see.

All four legs look complete and next up is the body.  I was told that the project is a about a month away from completion.

First up we have Gary in his workshop assembling the leg parts.  Gary draws near superhuman focus by placing a pencil behind his ear...no really it's true.

A finished leg below.  Pure Awesomeness.  I know Gary was adamant on making sure that the legs had dimension to it.  He wanted it to appear as lifelike as possible.  Mission Accomplished.

All four legs.  It appears that the legs are cantilevered to make them appear as if they are actually walking.  

You can almost visualize the body sitting on top of the legs.  

Getting close.....

Lord Woz comes to town

No not a Sith Lord but Uncle Greg.  The self nicknamed Lord Woz came over Sunday to paint the kid's rooms.  Uncle Greg can pimp out a room prime to paint in as little as a few hours.  Better to call in the big guns than have me paint.  Things tend to get messy when  I roll paint.    

Janine and I wanted the room to have that boyish feel but also clean and updated.   We went with a three tier color scheme using horizontal bands.

Valspar paint purchased from Lowe's was used.  

• The bottom:   SR313 Warm Sand.
• Middle:          4007-5C Cincinnatian Hotel Atrium
• Top Border:   SR1214 Peace Blue

yes, we are getting some type of Star Wars bedding

We are currently debating if we are leaving it as is with clean crisp lines or if we will paint some sort of scene.  The colors allows us to work in a a sand scene if we want and that allows for plenty of ideas.  One idea was to paint a scene from Tatooine complete with Sand People, Driods and throw in General Grievous for good measure.  Not sure yet.
