I like the way CrazietGadgets queues this one up:Luckily my kid isn't old enough to see this post because I and all other dads in the world have just been shamed, humiliated, and embarrassed by some superdad who built his kid a fre akin' AT-AT Imperial Walker bed. Yes it's as cool as it sounds. Hey superdad, wanna adopt me?If that wasn't enough he then uploads a YouTube movie, complete with Star Wars style intro, containing a slide show of some photos he took during the build process.
"It was made with materials available at any Home Depot or Lowe's," he writes. B&Q and Wilkinsons for us in the UK, I guess.
"From start to fully operation AT-AT, the project took about six weeks. The basic frame is just a typical college loft bed that can be built in a few days. But figuring out the leg and body panel dimensions took some trial & error. I used cardboard mockups first, before making a single cut. After that, most of my time was spent sanding, painting, sanding again and painting again to give a smooth, splinter-free finish. Stenciling of the body panels, undercarriage and legs was done with Sharpie markers of various widths. It was much faster than painting and permanent too."Check out the video, and you can read more details on Instructables.
