Millennium Falcon Asteroid Chase Coffee Table: Never Tell Me the Cost

Posted on by

After their Han Solo in Carbonite desk and Death Star wall tiles, the talented folks at prop studio Tom Spina Designs have finished another stellar Star Wars-themed custom job: a diorama of a classic scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Add a glass sheet on top of it and you have a coffee table.

The client who asked for the table only requested that it be based on the famous spaceship. But Tom Spina Designs’ artist Richard Riley took it to the next level. He gave a Hasbro Millennium Falcon and a TIE Fighter model kit a “movie style paint work” and built the asteroid field as well.

You didn’t have to do it to impress the client Richard, but I’m sure you ended up doing just that.

Death Star Wall Tiles: Now I Just Need a Spherical Room

Posted on by

Thanks to these custom tiles, I can finally turn my room into the Death Star. They look amazing. You really could turn any room into a Death Star. Death Star shower? You could do that. And it would be amazing. Of course then you would need some Death Star soap to go with it. This station would be the… ultimate shower in the universe!

Artist and designer Victor Brown collaborated with Tom Spina Designs when his client wanted a sci-fi inspired custom home theater. One requirement was wall tiles that you can’t just find at your local Home Depot. They came up with tiles that look like the Death Star Trench run scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

They designed 14 different 12″x12″ sculptures, then artist Lonnie Hale reproduced a total of 120 Death Star tiles in cast resin. They were installed under the home theater’s screen and along the lower walls and steps. As you can see in the video and it really completes the theme. I want a whole wall full of these amazing tiles.

Hoth Wampug Cave Dog Bed: Of Course We’ll See Master Luke Again

Posted on by

Our pals over at Homes and Hues spotted this Wampa-inspired Hoth Wampug Cave made by Tom Spina Designs for Kristen Andrews’ famous pet pug Chubbs the Wampug. She will knock you out and drag you to her icy cave, where she will hang you upside down and save you for a later meal. But she will look cute the whole time, so you really won’t mind.

As you can see, Chubbs the Wampug looks pretty adorable here in her Wampa costume, just hanging out in her Hoth ice cave dog bed. The coated foam sculpture even has an upside down Luke action figure hanging from it and the cave has a ramp granting the dog easy access.
