I ordered the parts for this project less than 10 minutes after watching this video, 10/10 This IS the way.
Awesome!! This is the way!
Same!
Where did you order it from? How much was it? Please thank you
@@TreyEversmanhey how did you get the acrylic on there? Staple gun?
@@thesundownersclub3983 exactly!
I found mine at home depot, for $67, I built 36 total for our starwars theme home, thanks, dude. Correction in process of building them
That’s AMAZINGGGG!!!!
@@TreyEversman I found that one big sheet of white transparent plastic sheet works good for the background
@@Firepistol price?
@TreyEversman ill be honest it's pricey, one roll is $150, but it's 100ft
Just finished making 3 of these panels. WOW it's a lot of work. I bought a roll of Mylar (3ft x 25ft) and lights are going on last. What took me the longest was painting. I wanted no drips, no streaks, no peeling, etc. Had to give it a few coats with some sanding in between as the paint doesn't really stick that well and can be scratched off easily. Finally finished it up with a matte sealer to really protect the paint long term. I'll be posting them up along with some figures in a few days on my Instagram. I'll be selling them at the PlastiCon event in Hollywood, FL at the end of the month. If they don't sell I'll be VERY HAPPY to keep them! - Look me up on IG to see my post soon - And a big THANK YOU to Trey for putting this up. Spent a nice few days with my dad doing everything in the garage.
That's what it's all about..quality time with family building cool stuff!!! Thanks for the comment..that made my day. Glad to hear the build went well and good luck with the sale (but you should really just keep them for yourself lol)!!
This is a stroke of brilliance. Thank you for this quick, easy to follow guide. For a Halloween set up, I am building the interior of a space ship looking out into the stars, and needed to figure out how to make the walls and BAM! Trey to the rescue.
This is the Way.
WOW!! I REALLY appreciate that! That sounds incredible! Thank you for tuning in! This is the way!
Ok I officially know how I want to do my home studio now! You are so awesome for this! May the force be with you!
Well that isn’t fair..I want a home studio!! 🤣 Thanks for tuning in and may the force be with you!
That looks beautiful
Thanks so much! Pretty easy build too!
This would be amazing to place behind your bed, as a night light it would be the best thing ever
🤣 well ALRIGHT!
Awesome. It’s cool seeing how you make stuff!
Thank you!! Can't wait to see the FPV stuff you shot with Tony..I may need an FPV lesson! 😎
You're the MAN! THANKS 😊
Going to go to town on my Man Cave now!
This is the way!! 🤜🤛
Thank you for being so good at life 😩🖤
I wishhhh..I'm just winging it and hoping I make it one day at a time but fankkk yewwww 🥹
Totally need to do this!!
Heck yeah dude! Such an easy project with incredible results! This is the way!
This helped a ton!!
Y’know it’s a good day when you have a dang Star Wars YT LEGEND up in the comments!! 🙈 Thanks for tuning in!
I did the same thing, I used a photo backdrop cloth as a background and it worked great!
I like that! 🙌🙌
which photo back drop did you use? pics of it on?
@@DjNotNice85 I ordered a studio lighting kit off wish that came with a black, chromakey green and white photodrop cloth, I used the white cloth. A white sheet should work also.
Awesome video! Had no idea they carried the exact cut out of the imperial background 😂 found it at HD for $75 ✊
It’s a cheat code! Lol! Thanks for tuning in!
Awesome, thank you.
🙏 🙏 🙏
Looks well 👍
Thanks so much!!
I just ordered 2 from the Home Depot for $75 each. My new home office is going to look amazing!
That’s awesome! I need more space for more walls! 🤣🤣
Imperial design 👌🏻
Perfect imperial addition to any room!
Nice work.
Thanks so much! The problem with having one is now I need more 🤣🙌
@@TreyEversmanThanks for sharing your tips. I bought two panels from Wayfair when they were $75, but I have been looking for ideas to build and mount them. How many feet of LED strips do you think you used?
@@antwaynetube I put the link for the led strips I used in the description I would say AT LEAST 75 ft (I didn’t use all of the 100ft) especially if you go around the outside of the frame and in between the holes.
I will be adding more screws at the top and side for my next one..ones in the center top& bottom but the liquid nails is holding up. Hope this helps!
Thanks!
THANKS SO MUCH!!!
I've been waiting to buy this thing, but I didn't know how I was going to build it to look like the movie. Now that I've seen this video, I have ordered my parts. I got lucky and got the panel for 86 bucks.
This is definitely a cheat code! Yeah, the panels went up in price for a time and seem to have come back down. Thanks for tuning in!
Genius!!!!
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for posting this video 🎉. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work 🎉. I have a small tool shed. That I’m looking into turning. My very own Space Ship. A Mandalorian bounty hunter ship / Man cave. You are so freaking awesome 😎. Can you do a Floor, or ceiling. With some RGB of course.
I really appreciate that! Oh wow that sounds epic!! 🤘🤜🤛
Definitely going to do this, any tips for how you cut the sheets or can u explain your process with doing that
The sheets aren't cut at all! That's the size it comes. 🙌
That is Cool
Thanks so much!
Hi. I bought a roll of Mylar Stencil Sheet with a thickness of 14 mil to avoid doubling up with the smaller sheets. Also the roll is 3 feet by 25 feet, since I'll be doing a few of these. Hopefully it'll go smooth.
Very nice! You got this..may the force be with you!
Thank you for this video! This is an awesome idea. I’m doing this project right now an so far so good. I’m up to the Mylar sheets step. What was your process for cutting these?
Thank you!! I kinda freehanded it, I would try to cut the sheets to at least cover a couple of holes at a time. Worked out perfectly! Thanks for tuning in!
love this project - i am curious about how you got the leds to turn the tight corners seems like there are alot of them going back and forth between lattice
The led strips are quite flexible and easily bendable. Hope this helps and thanks for tuning in!
I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, but was always put off by the amount of tools/craftsmanship needed through other tutorials. This is by far the most user friendly and budget friendly guide I’ve come across.
Quick question: Did you use two layers of the Mylar sheets?
Thank you!
That made my day! I appreciate that and appreciate ya tuning in! I did use two layers..you could even do a third but one layer was just not enough for me..you could still see the individual LEDs. Stapled them in and good to go! Cheers!
@@TreyEversman Project Complete! Can't thank you enough for this tutorial. I followed your blueprint for the most part, just making a few tweaks here and there. Most notably, I didn't put any lights along the sides of the back panel and went with a darker paint color (Sherwin Williams' Iron Ore in a flat sheen from their Duration series). I've uploaded a few pictures of my final build below.
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1v7G6uPH35aWOVECVrVqC1QFF5EqiStYN
Thanks again - you're an inspiration!!!
@@jordanm6700 that IS awesome!! I really appreciate the update..thanks so much!
This is incredible. I'm doing it. Do you think you could install the RGB strips on every other vertical rather than on each one to cut down on materials?
Do itttt! You could but I think your light output or glow would be far less. 🤷♂️
Awesome build! What were the cut lengths for the frame pieces?
In all honesty, I just lined them up with the frame and the made the cuts. Worked perfectly!
I'm building 3 right now. Thank you for the detailed list and directions. I do have 1 question. I'm using the sheets you got from Amazon. Did you duel layer it or single layer it? The video looks like you put a 2nd layer on. Thanks !
That’s amazing!! Thanks for tuning in! I did double up..my apologies if I didn’t mention that. I’d def recommend 2-3 layers. 2 was just fine for me. May The Force Be With You!
What length did you cut the wood too? Did you cut them into exactly 3’ x 6’ segments
Hey there! I measured them up with the sides of the panel. I think the top is like 33 & 5/8 and I fit in the side two pieces after that. Hope this helps!
Hey friend! Could you run by me how many feet of lights you needed to accomplish this? It’s the up and down stripes that worry me, that looks like a hell of a lot of feet to cover.
I used 1.5 boxes and link in the description! Thanks for tuning in!!
This is awesome !! I'm building one right now ! .. Question .. on the Mylar sheets -did you use two layers on each of the hole cut outs or is that just one layer and cut to fit?
Thanks so much! I doubled up but I know some on here are going triple..double was good enough for me! Thanks for tuning in!
What would you suggest for a 9 ft tall wall, since these are only 6 ft tall? They go from ceiling to floor in TDS. Also, you said we need 2 packs of the mylar sheets. It comes in a 10 pk, so is that sufficient or do we need to order two of the 10 packs?
Hmmm I think possibly adding in a top and bottom base adorned with other wall details from the DeathStar would be a nice touch and probably the easiest. Another idea would be to cut 1.5 ft pieces and lining them up with your full piece..(you’d have to cut your full piece so the circles match up) then attach to wooden frame, cover your lines with wood filler, sand, paint and BAM..frankensteined 9footer.
I got 2 packs of Mylar because I wanted to double up on them..your preference!
Great video. I'm going to start mines next weekend. Question on the mylar sheets, Is 10 pack 7.5 mil sheet the ones to used?
Thanks so much for tuning in! I linked the ones I used in the description. I used 2 packs. Good luck on your build! Let me know if you have any other questions!!
@@TreyEversman np. I went to your mylar sheet link to buy, but there's different sheets like 7.5 mil ect ect. Which one is the one to use? Thanks in advance.
Are leds in centre of panel facing the wall? You can see the leds around the perimeter. Would it be better to have these also face the back wall instead of firing sideways?
Personal choice I suppose! I can’t notice them for the most part. 🤷♂️
As shown in the video, I tried aligning the LEDs along the perimeter walls, but I didn't like how the LEDs were visible on the sides, so I removed them and have them facing the wall like the rest of the strips. It worked perfectly just by tucking it around the edges tightly.
Stencils Online sells Mylar rolls. I found a 36” x 10ft roll (14mil thickness being you doubled yours) for $53-ish per roll.
Wonder if this would make the job easier?
Interesting! Let me know how it goes but that sounds like a great option!
Trey, can you do something similar but in the shape of the Death Star 👍
I've got a few projects in the works right now but that sounds awesome! The best thing with this project is you can buy the panel just like that..it's how it comes!
Did you put 2 layers of the mylar on there? I didn't quite follow that part. Great tutorial! I almost just bought some of these panels for $600 and I'm so glad I youtube'd before I pulled the trigger lol
LOL! Well I’m glad ya didnt! 💀🙈 I linked the sheets I used..I used 2 layers and depending on your preference, you could even go another layer. WAYYY more cheaper than $600 for sure! 🙃 Hope this helps and thanks for tuning in!
Ok awesome! Thanks for the reply and I'm excited to get started on this!@@TreyEversman
@@slayaa May the force be with you..🙃
Can you explain how you did the light strips?
Yep! So the string lights I used are in the description. I used about 1.5 wheels in the box. First, I drilled a hole in the side of the bottom for the plug then I started the led strips on the bottom outside..went all the way around the outside frame then started on the panel itself and went up and down in between the holes of the panel. HOPE this made sense! Pretty simple. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Could you add a link to the lattice panel. I’ve been searching but no luck.
Got you! I'll put in it the description..my b!
And if i don't find anymore that garden wall. How can i make step by step the star wars wall? Because i don't know the measurements height lenght and also how big need to be that forms wall from the inside 🤔
I haven't done a custom one but there has to be a tutorial somewhere online! Good luck!
Any problems with the LED’s starting to die out? Was thinking of getting LED panels but this is so much cheaper and more affordable
Not at all! I keep them at least a few hours a day EVERY day. They would be superrr easy to replace if that did happen. I feel like it took YEARS for any to burn out behind my desk and they are constantly on. Hope this helps and thanks for tuning in!
Wow, this is such an amazing idea, Trey! Thank you so much for sharing! What did you use to light it up?
I really appreciate it and thanks for tuning in!! I linked the LED strips that I used in the comments. Thanks again!
@@TreyEversman ohh I see it now. Thank you so much for linking everything that you used! I can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much for making it attainable for us commoners, lol. My son will love this in his room!
@@rnguyen2516 the videos are a lot of work but hearing that your son is gonna have one awesome room makes it so worth it! Good luck on your build and let me know if you have any questions!
@@TreyEversman Hey Trey I'm doing my build soon. How many ft of the led strips did you need total?
@@peterlucus2062 awesome! I bought 2 boxes of the led’s in the description and used about 1.5 🙌🫡 Good luck..you got this!
Trey, what kind lights and how many rolls? Are they battery powered?
Hey there! I put the link to the LED strips I used in the description. I used 1.5 rolls..they are plug into the outlet and have a remote control for all the different modes. Cheers!
how did you attach rhe mylar sheets? glue? tape? thanks
Staple gun..super quick!!
Won’t the staples from the staple gun go through towards the front when putting the Mylar? Are they shorter than regular ones? I have everything for 3 panels including a roll of Mylar (3x24ft) so it’ll be less tedious. Teeediiioooouuusss.
Hey! I just checked for you..they are the 1/4'' 6mm staples. Hope this helps and good luck!
Did you double up the mylar sheets? It looks like you have 2 layers. Thanks!
I did! I would do 2 if not 3..your preference! Thanks for tuning in!
Why did you cut the mylar sheets with the rounded corners instead of just laying them down in the full rectangle shape?
When I did this, I used the stickum on the LEDs to adhere them down, and the LEDs face backwards. There's very little light shining through. If I turn the LEDs around, They're bright spots. How'd you deal with this?
You can double or triple up or even more on your Mylar sheets depending on your preference. The more sheets the better the light will diffuse and you’ll see less of the bright spots. I doubled up on mine. Hope this helps!
Trey, any suggestions om how to keep the mylar sheets from waving up or down when your stapling them down.. im using heavy duty staples.. could this be the issue?
Have the light strips tape held up still?
Oh for sure! Pretty solid adhesive on the back of these. 👍
How much of the quart did you use to paint this?
Sorry for the late response! I just did the shake test..I would say I used about half!! Thanks for tuning in!
Hi friend. I’m back to see if I can do this 😁
Hahaaa you absolutely can!! YOU GOT THIS!
@@TreyEversman I find your faith disturbing 😅
@@sikxrin “Your focus determines your reality.” - Qui Gon Jinn
Did you glue the mylar sheet or how you adherethe mylar sheets?
I used a staple gun 🙌🙌🙌
I used a full-size glue gun (do not use the mini-gun!) and it did the trick!
Is the paint semi-gloss, satin or flat? Also, how long are your LED strips?
Hey there! I got the Matte/flat version of that paint. The led strips are linked in the description..the 100 ft ones but you'll have some left over. Hope this helps!
@@TreyEversman I bought 65 ft. Hope that will cover it.
@@ichawksfan did 65 ft work for you
@@jimmyolivares9856 I'm still waiting for the panel to come in.
What type of wood did you use please?
Hey there! Google "1 in. x 2 in. x 8 ft. Furring Strip Board" from Home Depot. That's exactly what I used. Hope this helps! Thanks for tuning in!
Hey will 100ft of the led strips enough for the entire wall?
Depends on if you do the sides or not! I used 1.5 boxes of the LEDs. Hope this helps! Thanks for tuning in!
@@TreyEversman oh ok. Thanks

Would you say the Millenium silver is the best look for this? I found imperial gray and am now conflicted between the two.
I've never done a comparison test between the two but I saw the Millenium Silver mentioned A TON in the Star Wars Room Builders group on FB and it's readily available at Home Depot if you're in the US. Let me know how it goes if you opt for the Imperial Gray! 💪
@@TreyEversman thanks for the reply! In the US, just indecisive lol. Just trying to match the accurate Death Star color scheme. I’ll look into that Facebook group too! Thanks again!
@@TreyEversman thanks for the reply! In the US, just indecisive lol. Just trying to match the accurate Death Star color scheme. I’ll look into that Facebook group too! Thanks again!
@@JumpmanJedisomebody legit just posted a side by side pic of the two colors on the FB group!! Imperial gray looks way too dark IMHO! Check it out over on there! 🙏💪
@@TreyEversman that was me good sir! 🤣 definitely going with Millenium. I appreciate it man.
Did you use the 100ft of led lights??
1.5 on the LEDs that I put in the description..not too bad!
Does anyone know how to easily make the holes in wood
A drill bit?
Just started putting down the Mylar and the staples are bending and not very solid. I was thinking about using some spray can glue instead. Any thoughts?
Interesting! Mine staple gun worked out perfectly! Hmmmm..I can’t say I’d go the spray can method personally (messy, not a lot of control) so if it were me, I’d probably use a hot glue gun and just do dots of hot glue around the openings. I think this would be the ticket for me..hope this helps & May the force be with you! 🙌
Just tried some spray glue. This is not the way ! Rolling might work. This is awesome! I want to do one as a test. So this one is just working it all out. To complete a wall I will need 4 more. Such a good find! You got my sub! Now im wondering how much for a cut sheet of mylar? HAHA I'm lazy.
@@dudesarcade I figured it WAS NOT the way lol! Dude..a whole sheet to fit these 💰💰💰 🤣🙌 Thanks for tuning in!
@@TreyEversman Hey what about daisy chaining the lights? I'm gonna build another couple panels and would like to have them syned to 1 remote if possible.
@@dudesarcade yep..I daisy chained 2 packs together. I don’t think I totally used all of the second strand tho. Daisy chained and one remote. 🤙

Is it possible to further diffuse the sides so that you don't see the light "bulbs" through the mylar?
Absolutely! You would just need to add more layers or plastic. Cheers!
@@TreyEversman ok great I will try that when the materials come in thank you.
@@TreyEversman Great job with this. I have the lattice panels and I wondered if you didn't put the lights on the sides if that would answer Conner's question about not seeing the "bulbs" on the sides? In other words, just up and down in between the openings shining straight back. Your thoughts? You did a nice job, thanks for the video. David D.
@@daviddelancett7807 thanks for tuning and for the feedback! I think it’s definitely a possibility but I figured the more lights the better! Maybe doubling up on the back up the lattice is the ticket? Keep me posted on your build!
did i see that correctly? You put 2 layers of Mylar sheets?
Yep! I added a second layer for better light diffusion. I would at least do 2 if not 3 but it’s up to your preference. Thanks for tuning in!
@@TreyEversman thanks for making the video. I've been hesitating but lattices just went on liquidation at Home Depot in Canada (equivalent of 18 bucks USD). Couldn't resist. What do you think the 3rd layer would help with? I noticed you can still see the individuals lights when looking at the side but it's really not a big deal.
@@Smarteebee I saw that HUGE discount in Canada..that’s wild!! The third layer would diffuse the light even more and probably cut down on seeing ANY individual lights. To me, it really isn’t that bad.
I would scoop some more up but they are still the same price here in the US 🤣🙈
@@TreyEversman just came back to watch how you put the second layer of sheets. was hoping i wasn't going to have to cut around them again but like you said.... tedious. Not sure i wan't to go 3 layers lol
@@Smarteebee lol tedious is the exact word! 🤣 YOU GOT THIS
WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE LIKES?!!!! Its free people. DO it
DO ITTTT PEOPLEEEE!!! Lol..thanks!

@@TreyEversman i think shipping would kill the price our rates in canada suck these days.. what was the length of the screws you used.. 1-1/2"??
@@TreyEversman what size screws 1-1/2”?
Ugh I put the 2x1’s flat instead of vertically. Now there is not much spacing from the lights to the edge of the design. All well.
Dang..maybe you could double stack the flat 2x1s..not the most ideal but it would give you more depth to your already started frame. Just a thought!
Ended up taking them off and doing it right.
