Colin Furze Creates An AT-AT Playhouse For One Lucky Kid

While we don’t actually get to see a fully completed AT-AT playhouse in the video here, we do get to see how Colin Furze created it. This is a house sized AT-AT from Star Wars or rather an AT-ACT, the new version from Rogue One. It has a new head and a cargo bay. Hey, you have to sell those toys right? So just change these bits and people will buy it. Even though we don’t get to see the finished product, you will be impressed, trust me. He went above and beyond on this build.

Check the video again on December 9th to see the surprise reveal.

Awesome Custom Playable Star Wars Holochess Set

28 year old web applications developer Ian Martin had been playing holochess with his wife and brother on a small replica board using a set of rules that someone had developed and posted online. But once he moved into a house with a garage he decided to make a full-scale Dejarik table, complete with working control interfaces, sound effects, and programmed gaming aids. Oh and the alien figures. It looks amazing.

The table has 10 working knobs, 54 functional buttons, 26 lights, and two LCD display screens. It can play the unofficial game using a program that he wrote. Ian is a genius. It looks absolutely perfect.
