NVGR: My Christmas Project... That's no moon!
craineum | 3:29 PM on 12.28.2009 12 comments


Been away awhile again... Christmas breaks will do that. During this break I made something I wanted to share with the Destructoid Community, my new Christmas tree topper. I have been collecting star wars ornaments for my tree since about 1999, since then I have been wanting a Death Star on top of my geek tree. This year was the year. It plays three different songs/sound effects, has a motion sensor and some control buttons. The lighting is done with LEDs and a Laser... yes a laser :)

Go here and vote for me so I can win free stuff or if you want to learn how I built it.

Here is a video of it in action:


Here are a couple of pics:

Loved it!

We did a Star Wars tree one year, it was amazingly epic. We got white lights and cut down some straws and taped them on the bulbs to make light sabers. Then filled in the rest with Galactic Hero figures. I had a plan to buy a train that sits on the tree and replace it with an X-wing and TIE fighter chasing each other, but never got around to it.

I share these ideas in hope that someone else may see them and create the masterpiece that I failed to finish.

Oh my GOD!

It hurts me to think about how much I'm lacking in creativity when I see your amazing work Craineum.

Keep it up man, I always love seeing something new from you =]
