I'm building my personal Gaming Room...

The cool thing about gamerooms is
a) you can use colors that you would -never- use in your home
b) -you- decide what colors you choose.....no need to negotiate with your partner


Looking good Bruno, I bet the purplish color will take some layers to cover.

The red that I used took three layers and still didn't cover 100%
The blue that I used took only one layer to almost cover completely, but I did a second anyway

why is the primer colored? 

All the primers one can buy here are white.  And the paint store can tint it to any color you want.  Heck, there's a paint type that's becoming popular which has paint + primer in one.  2 coats and you're done.

Glad to see you appreciate the color  Here's an other shoot with some natural light...



...but let's wait for the finished result 

Is it a fluorescent paint?

Nope, it's extra mate... but who knows how it will react under crazy colored lightening I plan to use

The primer was originally white,  but I prefer to tint it when I apply it. I hate to paint 'white' on 'white' 

Ok, the second 'huuuuuuuuge' wall is done...



And now, the last wall 



Next round... the second layer of paint ... boring but necessary! (hope I won't need a third layer...)

In parallel, I also have to think about 'how to arrange games in the three rooms'.
Too many games, few of them are really big/heavy, impossible to wait the d-day and try to move/arrange them in live, so no other choice than to think about it 'virtually' first.
So I've done the V1/V2/V3 plans in sketchup, here's a preview (wip)   



...still some details to add, but here it is, after hours spending to learn the software (quite easy fortunately) / taking measurements (no an easy job with two rooms full of cabinets!) 

[level42]

Where is the extra door in V3 ? Seems to be missing in that drawing ?
Just noting so you don't plan any games in front of it

I just checked the first post. And all this started on the 10th of May 2005, 7 and a half years. Wow

Read through the whole topic yesterday, shame it wasnt ALL caught on video, would have made a great documentary!

[caincan]

so much layers of work paint (you have learned about patience, a lot when watching "karate kid" in the 80's ?  ) 

about the D-day for the galaxian3 revival process ..  when do you plan inform a date ?  that couldnt be a last minute information i guess,  so that people can arrange their agendas and gather to help you.

I'm not sure exactly when I'll be able to visit, but next time we're going south into europe, probably to Prague to visit my relatives, we could make a detour to Bruno's space-station. I will ofcourse contact Bruno well in advance so that we can synchronize a convenient occasion.

Then there will be action.

Yeps... but I'm a little bit faster than George Lucas, each trilogy take him 9 years of his live  to complete

I thought about that too... I didn't know at the time that would evolve in that way of course.

What if I say ...next week end?  I'll came back on that into the 'Theater' topic

Yes!! That 2nd layer will be the last one! I'm happy with the result! 

...and after few more days of painting job...



The V3 is "purple-ized"   

[Belike]

Well done, what is next?

[DarthNuno]

Well done, what is next?

Well, still a lot of details 

More work done on the stair 

[Superully]
