It is time!

[doodo!]

I'm going to start building my life sized Yoda hut! I'm working and in college with just a few expenses, in my free time I want to build my life sized Yoda hut! I think I can find some one to help me with it too...:p

It's not a easy under taking mind you, both the exterior from ESB and ROTJ are different and the inside is more or less the same lay out but has different features.

Regardless I am going to meld the ESB and ROTJ's interior and exterior to make one true hut! YES YES!!! YESSS!!! GIVE IT TO ME !!!!

See, the beauty of ESB and ROTJ is that in ESB you don't really see Yoda's bed that much and the wall next to it, you only see a glimspe of that far wall when Yoda Is speaking near the stove. That means I can simply build what you've seen and combine both inner huts to one.

The rest of the hut is more or less the same, even though the colors are different and small details are different. The layouts are actually the same. I know the lay out pretty darn well by now too.

The exteriors are different angles too. The only thing is that the inside needs to line up with the outside. Which is a design challenge.

Wow, are you actually gonna do that? Post pics when you're done.

I am, but I haven't got a start yet. I was going to ask a old art teacher from High School if he'd help me work on it but I never did. Going back to HS would be strange and I don't know how he'd take it.

[Comrade Pants]

I endorse this project.

If you lived in Chicagoland, I'd bike the distance to your house and give you seven

The hardest will be replecating the old man smell in there.

[doodo!]

I think the true hardest is durability and safety. Some people have suggested concrete but you can easily imagine the fears of a collapse using one, you have to be very careful and smart about these sort of things.

I personally have other ideas.

I don't know who gave this thread 1 star, but this should be a part of the Telltale community's legacy.



ITS LEGACY.

Some of the answers you got were awesome :D

[doodo!]

Ha, thanks for the support. I know the layout pretty well but I havent even started yet.
Thanks, it might take me a while to get a start on the project. I'm thinking about miniature models and that sort of thing.

Well if it helps any, I'm a girl and I support this project! :D

It is good to hear at times.

[splash1]

I support this project and offer a suggestion!

You should build speakers into it and then add bugs/creature noises to enhance the affect.

[chemistx2]

You should build your Yoda hut out of cob and plaster it with the earthen plaster made from manure and clay. They showed this on Dirty Jobs once. The final product is very cool and adobe-looking.

Wikipedia has a great pic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cob_(material))

[Comrade Pants]

Build everything from rocks and mud.

That is all.

[Alcoremortis]

This project sounds like it could have the potential to be really fun. Or really irritating.

[Giant Tope]

I second cob. Its cheap and easy to learn.

[doodo!]

Great suggestions.

Maybe I'll buy some cob, just a little bit and see how versatile it is.

No matter what I do I intend on making an exoskeleton and endoskeleton. The inside lines up with the outside, but not exactly. I want the inside to look accurate as well as the outside. I'll have to look into cob houses, how they're made and see if they lend their self to this, chances are that they do. I've actually made 3D models of this in a game before. I'll see if I can find it.

Yoda did too, I just found out...and as I thought the real deal is from a tree, we don't really have that here.

Here's a cool article
http://netdwellers.com/1001/hosting/users/cinesecrets/pmMakingYoda1.html

"Production Designer Norman Reynolds based Dagobah's gnarltree designs from Ralph McQuarrie's conceptual illustrations, plus real world examples from the swamps of Nigeria. He constructed the trees from tubular steel skeletons, shaping them with wire mesh and detailing them with plaster."
