The V3 has now its dedicated custom door  :-*  :arrow:



..oh, and so the missing glass fiber around the door is also applied as you can see!

Just the idea of having to paint all those walls is making me tired, let alone having to actually do it  ;D

Me too!  :oops: approx 115m2 to paint, per layer... only for the main room, without speaking about the toilets to paint too..  :P

Really. Why paint? I kind of fancy the wooden look.

Ok, here's we go, but first... I have to apply the special paint protective 'scotch'.



The worst thing about this V3 : It's too big!!! I mean each operation is multiplied because of the size of the room! And when I have to work on the top of the wall or under the roof, it requires a scaffold, a real pain to move where you're alone  :oops: ...



OK, I won't complain about the size!  ::) :P So let's start with the 'PRIMER' layer...



Damn it! That glass fiber drinks as much as a man!  :shock: With that Primer 'special for glass fiber' box of 5 liters was supposed to cover +/- 45m2... and it's almost empty after only 15-20m2  :shock: Jesus! This gonna cost me a lot of €€€ in paint!  :?

...but here we are at this point :

Well, *impressive* is the only word I can think of. This is even more exciting than awaiting the end of the world later this year.

My jehova's witnesses friends left me some really dramatic looking flyers about it. I keep telling them "Darthnuno is building an intergalactic shelter.." - still they don't seem to feel at ease with that, which kind of makes me wonder if perhaps they *want* the world to end.

It's amazing! Without all the stuff on the floor, we can imagine how huge this gameroom is! Damn, I relaly can't wait to see it finished, with the G³ inside of it!  :shock:

LOL! I promise you be a part of the intergalactic shelter  ;D

Hell yeah! As I said, each stage of its construction is a pain, because of the size!

Believe me or not, but my iPhone -connected to the main V1/V2 amp, who plays music when I'm working- is set to 'random play' in an approx 500 songs, and in no time, it loops everything! (.... and I mostly listen progressive rock/metal music where songs are often 8-10 minutes long)



OK, the half of the room is paint with that ugly green/blue primer color :



Oh, and the the step of the staircase is done :

UGLY??! :) I love it. But then, I am into Miami Vice and the eighties in general very much.
