A: a room build is never "finished", B: squirrel!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

LOL! Agreed!

[@thesovarian4464]

Hey brian- just wanted to send a quick thanks for the four years I've been enjoying your videos and gleaning unlimited inspiration. I started out as just a kid in his dad's garage, building with hot glue and cardboard, in awe of what you were able to crank out. Over the years, I've been redesigning my bedroom into the interior of a ship, which has been one of the greatest joys in my life, and I owe it all to you. A few months ago, I had to call my room "done", as I moved a couple hours away for my freshman year of college. I'm currently studying architecture, and I'm even giving a presentation about my experience doing a room build. All because I happened upon your channel four years ago and saw that May the Fourth droid caller prop build. So thank you, for inspiring me and so many others to have the courage to start building, even if the only materials accessible are cardboard and hot glue.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so much for this comment! Truly made it all worth it with these words. Best of luck in College, it's a magical time! Thanks so much for spending the last four years with us!

[@Anna-fw7lm]

Yeah I've stumbled on this channel more recently and he got me hooked too.

[@NerdyPastime]

Took me almost ten years to “finish” my full scale droid. I truly understand a large build project is a marathon and not a sprint. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

There you go! As long as you enjoyed the journey that's all that matters!

[@jeanmalo7173]

The room is hot Bryan, can't wait to see what you come up with next...stay safe!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you much!

[@R4-98]

Hey Brian, I’ve been watching you build something out of nothing for about 3 years now and have enjoyed each and every second of it, you have sparked a creative side of me that I didn’t know I had! About two years ago I got a Cricut from a family friend as a gift and the first thing I thought of was the Smugglers Room and man are those Cricuts amazing machines! I just am so grateful for creative side of me you have helped me find and am so excited for the next chapter of the Smugglers Room and what’s projects I am going to be working on next! May the force be with you always! 😊

[@barryjack3025]

After just getting off a Disney cruise ship, and visiting their Star Wars play area… your space wins hands down… I would pay $$$ to see your creation any day! Envy galore!!! Carry on!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Wow!! Thank you very much!

[@michaele1407]

you and few others inspired me to get into this hobby, thank you all and i enjoy my time and build, although not as good as you, your Utube videos are great. keep it up

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

so glad to hear it! Best of luck on your builds!

[@craiggehlert]

a thought..one you could fully pull off..( its also something my jawas are working on in their fort ).. use the Han in carbonite to hide a door..like a sliding hiden door...that way han isnt just taking up space..

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

its a great thought. Not sure where I would put it since the room is pretty small and doors are tight, but i love it.

[@Anna-fw7lm]

@@TheSmugglersRoom What about hang it on the ceiling facing down like a sinister trophy? I'm all for the surprise effect , apparently

[@marvrogers9540]

I recently had a moment whilst sat in my build where I asked myself Why am I doing this? And I realised that I DONT want to finish my build. For me the build process is actually the fun part. It's a time and place where I can retreat from whatever is going on in the World and throw all my energy into pure escapism. It's fun and I'm learning new techniques from the smugglers room and all of the member of the room builder group all the time. So thanks Brian and everyone else for the entertainment and inspiration, and here's to another four years

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Could not agree more with you. The journey is the escape and the best part! Thanks for sharing!

[@CGRTist]

Ha! The Microwave! I can't wait to see the crate diorama setup. That design looks sick!

[@danielkover7157]

Man, all you folks who do these builds, from small projects to entire rooms, simply amaze me! I just got through watching this video, and one of the video recommendations over to my right is Nerdforge turning a room into a wizard's study. Jayzis, all you nerds are awesome! Keep it up! ^_^

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! That nerdforge build is amazing, they do great work!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

LOL!!! Thank you bro! Thanks for coming along with us on the adventure!

[@blackmarketoutpost]

Mr. Thompson sir this video is one of your best ever. Sometimes people don’t need a build from you to get motivated sometimes all it takes is a reality check in a humble way and I for one think that this video delivers just that so for all of the room builders in this community head up move forward and try new things because in reality it’s all about learning and trying your best !!!!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so much my friend. This made my day bro. So glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobp5356]

You have created quite an awesome room. I just hope you and your wife are committed to staying in that house. I couldn't imagine the effort it would take to move everything. I look forward to your next build. Thanks

[@kiwimanMAKMCSWF]

It's such an amazing room, and thanks for sharing your processes. Something I love about having a Star Wars cave is that it is never finished. There is always room to improve. That said, your work is incredible. Keep it up bro.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

So very true! Thank you!

[@kaction]

You guys are my favorite creators. Love the creativity. The Cantina area may be my current favorite. It will never be "finished" and that is just perfect

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Wow, thank you!

[@rayay9581]

I’ve been working 8 years on remodeling my house to Walt Disney World. I’ve completed my Adventurer’s Club office, EPCOT hallway and Haunted Mansion stairwell but I’m stumped on the Tomorrowland bathroom. I still have 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 powder room, the kitchen and a family room. Each a separate land and elements have been built and pieces bought. I get it. Inspiration hit and focus changes. I stopped my Pirates of the Caribbean bedroom, because it still needs to be emptied out and I ran into a roadblock on the headboard. I have to duplicate the other half of the stern of the Black Pearl which I already did. So now I’m doing my Tiki Room/ Adventureland kitchen. I get where you are coming from.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That all sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@MigMonkey]

I love the idea for the 3 3/4 scale display hidden in a stack of crates.. Genius!!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you!! Can’t wait to get started on that and share the journey!

[@user-wq3jr9hn4m]

I think you have done a lot for 4 years and have come along way looking forward to the next steps :)

[@illustratedlefty213]

I have a few shelves full of collected mementos and one light switch cover done for my room build and seeing this (and other videos) from you make me wanna design more and keep on. Thanks for the awesome inspiration and motivation.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That is awesome! Thank you

[@steveconner6126]

Love it. This project brought me to your channel initially. Hard to believe it's been four years. Thanks for the update and all the great additional content since starting the room build.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

It's fine that the details aren't done. The whole room is fun to be in. Warm low key lighting will pull it together.( like in your visual concept illustration). The orange and brown and mustard colors in the concept are what pulled the look together, but that new eclectic look is fine too. You just need to sort the lighting.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Yep, lots of work to do on lighting, we’ll get there 👍

[@TuckerMade]

Love your videos!! On what to do Han Solo in Carbonite I would use it as bathroom door/ closet doors. Could even use the side panel for door lock.

[@jameswatson8291]

Widow by bar suggested you could do an outdoor scene that would be different like a ruined temple in the background or desert scene. So many off world ideas could be done to look at

[@johnnygat6152]

Maybe an armory would be a good way to display you armor and helmets.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

that could be cool!

[@owenrichards1418]

This is the most awesome mis-use of space I've ever seen in my life. I am in absolute awe!

Thanks, I can’t wait to use my knowledge I gained from you to pain and weather it

[@PearlJam2k6]

I feel you on that build crunch, myself i make cosplay, props and gunpla/model kits and the sheer volume of projects just pile up and never seem to end. Dont let it get to you just because you cant work on them, im sure both of you will find the right time to push each project to an end. Its much better this way too, as makers we all know its better to do a project when you *want* to rather than Force-push yourself to do so. I might have an idea for the back wall you have where the poor Solo icicle is. Nerdforge did a video where she basically mounted a giant screen behind some foam decor and basically has a programmable "outside" screen. What if you did something similar, with the desert of Tattooine, or the lush forests of Kashyyk? Heck, imagine having a window to an ISD hanger with Tie fighters lifting off and landing back and forth. The bonus aspect here is also it'll give some light and animation to the area which is always nice to have when you spend a lot of time working there. Here's the video in question btw, might give you some ideas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJiUhXp3eatlapo

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

Here's a tip from my many years of doing that sort of work. You've probably figured it out by now anyway. Don't get distracted by the details. Get a visual. Make a small 3D model. Build the big shapes first. Once you have all the big shapes in place, add the details. Commercial people use this process because if the deadline moves forward, you still get to deliver something pretty good. So for example, the bench seat around the holochess would be functional with just the framing and no cushions and lights. I would do just that part first only, and then move on the display shelves, and so on. Much faster, and your head is at the right scale all the time. I'm not sure which design tutor told me all this, it was a long time ago. It was great advice and has served me well. Hope I can pass it on to you, But, having said that, as a hobbyist, there's no deadline, and so no real reason not to have fun playing with the details endlessly.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks for the tips!!

[@TheOuterRim_]

Great episode. Thanks for sharing your room build. I agree with you. The community is becoming more important to me than the things I’m building. I love the creative energy of the group.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you my friend

[@DHGamerMR]

Another great video over my morning coffee, as always! Love watching your channel because you never shy away from showing us the successes, the (relative) failures, and the works still in progress. I've been following your videos for about three years now, and I keep coming back to see your process and your techniques. Can't wait to see where it all goes next!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching all this time. Always happy to see we add a little flavor to your morning coffee!

[@blizatrex]

It is a marathon not a sprint. I enjoy all of your build videos and am excited to see what comes along the way.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Awesome, thank you! Appreciate you!

[@Ken4trains]

Brain, after watching this episode, especially near the end on your plans for a scene within a scene…the light bulb went off for nailing an age long issue of displaying my Star Wars collection! Thanks, I’m stealing one of your ideas, because in the end, it’ll be the BEST way to “show off” my cherished collection!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Awesome!! So glad you found inspiration there. Cant wait to see what you do!

[@_Khan-Solo_]

The diorama/crate idea sounds fantastic! May the Force be with you on this journey!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

So glad to hear that you like the idea! Thank you!

[@markpatton7431]

Been following for a long time. For the basement window(s), I always thought of curving a screen to fit the space outside. Then mount a small projector that would place an image of a star field in it and you could have it be in all sorts of modes.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you much! Cool idea as well for the window!

[@regularguyjedi9154]

Brian. Thank you for this. I appreciate it. It made me feel much better about my own progress on my displays. I love the look of everything you build and to see the unfinished aspects of the things you have worked on is refreshing.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

So glad you enjoyed it. I figured there has to be so many more out there like with on going projects. Keep on keeping on!!

[@PrincessandScoundrel]

We plan on giving our "set" a refresh and seeing what you have done gives us so much inspiration. We have always loved that you take elements from the universe and make it your own. Great job.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@hannahbarnes9669]

I would deal with the window by painting some aurebesh letters that say something like "To escape pod" or "Gun turret access" in the window well, to really make use of the corrugated metal out there.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

I love the gun turret idea. We toyed with that a while back. Still totally an option!

[@Certawin]

Okay odd suggestion. That basement window. Has to be an escape area I'm guessing. For safety. Doo you have a plastic cover over it? Be the perfect area I think. For going Along the edge. Painting it like a forest. Making a Endor village.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Nice! Not a bad idea at all.

[@ZenHulk]

From someone with ptsd and some other good things, i have a constant issue of motivation and direction. I build, change, build change, many times. I have been working on a full 6ft 2 tall humanoid robot, does everything but walk, i am on year 3, i can only work in my workshop spring through fall, because my heater doesn't like Utah winters. I also have a poor Gonk in pieces, because the whole plastic container thing just doesn't work for me, so now he's going to be wood and in the exact position he was in, in Empire, one day.

[@tallgirlmodel]

Recall when Rey was in the cantina with Fin and heard a child down some steps… the hall walls down there have been something I wanted to replicate in my home and maybe a nice inspired scene for the entrance to your basement SPACESHIP 😊

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Oooh! That’s a great idea!

[@SmithProdVid]

Idea for displaying your Mando kits: You could put a jail cell door (laser bars, etc.) in front of them. You could even curve it to allow them to still take up the corner. This would give you display, story, and conversation elements. Makes it so you have easy access to them the next time you want to wear them.

[@lr5612]

Oooh all that cantina progress! It's looking awesome! Love the designs for the upcoming bits, too!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks so much!

[@handicappedhammered9037]

[@AdamSchumph]

I've been a huge fan of the channel for the entire time -- keep up the great work. As for the cove, I'd suggest turning it into a carbonite storage "coat rack". You could even build a carbonite "display" box for the Mando costumes.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so much!

[@willzayas8538]

idk if anyone has said this already but you should put a "locker room" for your mandalorian gear. Would look realy good and would be a cool behind the scenes of what a mandolorian does with his gear when he isnt wearing it.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That’s a great idea! Thanks!

[@darkskull53]

I love your videos they give me so many ideas to make things, witch is always a good thing. 1 idea for your mando suits and han is have the wall done up like the carbon freezing chamber scene with han in the middle and ur mandos posing on the side, making it look like they just captured him.

Super inspiring as always Brian. You help remind us to have patience with our builds. Especially for those of us who have kids, work & other areas of our lives that require us to shelve or pause our projects for a while. And sometimes for me that works out better. I may see something or have a "mind glimpse" of a twist on my project that I'm glad I had before I started or finished. I have to say that the idea you have for the crates and dioramas within, is a genius idea. Can't wait to see that. You should be super proud of all the designs, creativity & all-around cool stuff you have cranked out!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so very much!

[@deepseacocoon]

On the room with the Mandalorian and carbonite, a cool idea would be a TV that displays space all the time with a build around it to look like a window into space

[@randall3981]

I have the PERFECT and unique idea you could do for your space window that I've never seen done before (that I plan on doing on my own build) Use the paint Black 3.0 or 4.0 to black out the wall on the other side of it and run fiber optics to create stars. Obviously fiber optic stars has been done a million times BUT I've never seen someone use Black 4.0 as the background, people usually use black felt or something. Black 4.0 absorbs 99%+ of all visible light, it literally just looks like a black void, so much so that your brain has a hard time processing it. Adding that with fiber optics would be AMAZING (and would definitely be a trippy looking conversation area)

It’s taken you only four years to build all of that amazing stuff? Don’t look at what little I’ve accomplished in the 3+ years I’ve been following you. I get the frustration, trust me. But I also look at what all I’ve learned. That is several orders of magnitude more than I’ve learned in the previous decades. I also look at the fact that the process of building is part I most enjoy. Yeah…it would be really nice to have finished projects to look at. Some day, if I live long enough I’ll get there. Lol. I also look at the huge community of similarly obsessed makers that you have brought together, inspired, and learned from. I, for one, hope it takes you many more years to finish the room. I look forward to many more years of insanely awesome building somethings from nothing. Thank you for giving me dreams and joys (and some measure of frustration).

Thank you so much my friend. All of your support means the world to us! Appreciate you watching, encouraging, and coming back for more. Trust me, even if we finish the room I have no doubt we'll find more crazy stuff to build!!!

⁠@@TheSmugglersRoomI WILL hold you to that last bit. Lol. Also, the “burnt barbecue remains of uncle Owen” really got me.

I had an idea for your mandalorian armor. You said you aren't happy with the mannequins that they are displayed on. What about doing a sort of display like we see in Solo on Dryden Vos's ship, the First Light? Or even like a display like what Boba Fett has in his series?

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Nice idea! I like it

I really, really feel your struggle with finishing your projects. I have tons of started projects myself and non is really finished. I usually stop working on a project when I run in the first few problems that force me to take steps back from where I've already been. And I rather start another project than tackle the problems. Working on this mental state is harder than working on the projects themselves.

This is so true. I’ve focused this year on completing projects which is my nemesis for exactly the reason you describe. . I’ve been particularly focused on projects that sit on a bench or desk keeping me from using that workspace. Getting better in this regard but sure is difficult.

2:43 - Did Stone Coat ever contact you? I messaged them a few times to get them to look at your build. They seemed interested.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

100% True Craftlngo! Hopefully you aren't too hard on yourself for not finishing projects. I have truly found that so often just working on a project helps my mental health, and relaxes me in a way that nothing else does.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

LOL! I'm with you bdlii! Finishing a project so that you can use the workbench is a true win!!!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Sadly no they never did. But appreciate you reaching out to them!
