Moved Again, new HT Deco style
I have not been on this forum in a while. I have two kids now, and that may be why...
Anyway. We moved into a bigger appartment with a nicer living room, which is now taken up by my HT setup... again. IT's still cheap, but I like it.
Here's what I have:
-Custom made HTPC/ 16gigs ram/ AMD RADEON HD 6870/ 3 hdds w/2tb total storage
-PS3 for Bluray/gaming
-2 Acoustic Research rear sattelites
-An AR 10" 200w subwoofer -down-firing
-Denon AVR 588 Receiver
-Wal Mart entertainment cube with custom DIY glass door and additions.
-Custom home-made center channel made from the guts of a Sony SS-CN5000
-2 Sony SSF-5000's floor standers. Cause I'm still cheap.
-Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 8350 projector
-Elite Screens 120" projector screen
And some deco items, because it is a new hobby of mine.
Projector:
Custom blu-ray rack I built into a 1947 Firestone radio I found at a garage sale for $20. Gutted and repurposed.
It's made of mahogany panels and held in the back of the trim on the radio with screws. At any time the radio can be put back together. I also stripped and refinished the whole cabinet.
Movie inspired decorations
And then I found some chrome striping and fake knobs at Autozone. Would look stupid on a car, but does great for 1940's radio dress-up.
Picture of me, in front of said bluray holder.
I also recently got into restoring and repainting 1930s-50's bakelite tube radios. Would post if anyone was interested.

Nice theater! I love the design of art deco period, Bioshock was (is) a dream come true.
Rocketeer costume is awesome!

I loved the architecture in bioshock. Part of it was inspiration for the center media rack.Originally Posted by agarwalro

I kind of like it, so yeah - of course. I was actually thinking of getting a small blu-ray decal to go next to the firestone logo as well...Pretty cool your HT room and the vintage ideas, so may we call it...

Even the helmet... Fiberglass, bondo, welding shield, plywood, plastic putty, paint, car trim, rivets. And a custom plush fabric liner...
It was actually the first part I made. IT was originally going to be a HT decor piece, and it still will be, but then I got addicted. Now when the rainy season stops I will be making the rocket pack.

Awesome job man!
How about the reels, did you made'em as well? If so, would you mind posting a step-by-step procedure, as I'm willing to do some myself?

That is amazing! The welded fin and beat up brass look has been pulled off perfectly.
