Death Star wall panelling questions

[ghostryder]

Do you guys know what actual color was used on the interior walls of the Death Star?

And does anyone here make Death Star wall panels? Full size or scaled like the ones seen here:

Death Star Walls

Thanks in advance!

RPFer Skaught is making them for Star Wars Celebration VI.
He posted a pic on Facebook which is also posted to the 501st page:

Thanks Chris - those look great... Do you know what color they actually were - "grey" is such a wide spectrum...

I've always seen them as leaning towards a slight blue/grey.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought too...

I would love to know the actual color too, when you look at "grey" at any paint store its WIDE RANGE!!!!

What's the project Willie? You have me intrigued.

I think its "50% grey" or the most neutral of the bunch. Its the same color fx uses as opposed to blue/green screen. If you look at actual photographs the grey is lighter yet on film it has a darker tone and even color to it. What your seeing is the bounce off the floor and any other lighting being shot in whether practical or off camera. With 50% grey you can color alter walls with some lighting gel as well.

I'm using a blue/gray color. I stared at samples for a while and finally settled on Behr "Myth".

Coincidentally, I put my first coat on just now. It looks bluer in this image than it does in person. Reminds me of the vintage TIE Fighter toy color.

Scott - that looks great. LOVE that you're doing this... Love to see more pics as you progress too... Very cool!

Thats awesome! Ive been wanting to make the panels that are lit up from behind but in a smaller scale. Want to use them as part of a wall display for my E 11 blaster.

I have another section that has the lights on the opposite side and a different pattern. In the middle will be a third section that is black with a red section in the middle. It will have a counter top that will hold my gunner control board. A monitor will show through a hole cut in the red that will display a "Death Star has cleared the planet" animation I made and other schematics. It'll be in the 501st room at CVI next to my trash compactor set.

I may know of someone doing a run if you want me to keep you posted...

I wish I had about 10 of those to do my computer room with, then my lifesize vader would feel right at home.

Painting the second wall. Shady photo, unfortunately. The patten is different on this one.

Fantastic Scott, your trash compactor was great too! Wish i was going so I could see them in person.

Nice job on the panel, Scott. Looks great.

Just out of curiousity...how did you do the cut outs so perfectly?

A friend CNC'ed or laser cut them for me. I dunno...some kind of machine. They're cut from ABS plastic. I hope the paint sticks.

The front of my trash compactor, though, I cut by hand.
