Amazing buddy... just crazy! How many hours do you think went into making this?

VERY Cool......

Thank you, Justin. I've probably got about 10 hours into this already, and I still have to add about another 45 sq ft to it, making it around 140 sq ft total. I still have to build a trench ( 10-12 ft long), a mountain with Rebel base hangar doors, an ion cannon, plus several other things that I have planned.
Thanks again. I appreciate your interest and kind words.

Look at the size of that thing!... Nice work, looks like you put a lot of work into this one.

Thanks so much, Darth Mac!

Take one on the explosion effect....Special thanks to Roberto Williams for the tips.

That explosion is spot on and amazing. Are those cotton balls?

Thanks again Chris. I used a poly fill material, like pillow stuffing, but you can use cotton. I made a wire mesh mushroom shaped frame, applied the poly fill material, coat of orange paint, then red paint, and then put 2 mini flashlights in the frame from the open bottom.

Awesome work Barry, just awesome. Like I said on FB, I haven't seen anything of this magnitude before. Very impressive, my friend.
