Hi Guys!
Just a few links that may interest you?? Don't laugh. I do this for fun every year for the many parties we have. Every year I try to better the year before and learn new effects.
Four years ago we had a Theme Christmas (Victorian) just for a few close friends and family. It worked well so next year was Gangsters and Molls. So I did the whole inside of the house like a Chicago street with full size cardboard gangster car, lamp posts, brick walls and speakeasy. Last year was Medieval. I converted the inside of the house into a very large castle complete with drawbridge.
This year is Sci-Fi. I have an 8' stargate in the entrance hall. The Kitchen/den is the inside of a space craft with portholes, computer screen with space scenes on and inflight entertainment. I have space ships/stars/planets hanging from the ceiling and moving planets projected on the ceiling plus a whole bunch of other stuff. It takes me about a month to do. I did have twenty local school friends round on Wednesday and they loved it?? or just said that to humour me?? Even the local newspaper came round for a photo shoot.
I now use polystyrene as it's better to work with. Please bear in mind this is for fun, so the model quality is not up to movie spec.
