Stardust rises again (sort of)

Sorry if I gave any1 the wrong impression, but I miss the Stardust and found myself wishing I could see it again. As a modeler, I found a solution in my computer room.





I created a shell for my computer tower that is actually a replica of the Stardust hotel. It%26#39;s not just a model or computer cover though. It is fully lighted with flourescent and black lights! It%26#39;s kinda the centerpiece of the room. The comp rests inside and can be accessed by removable panel on the elevator tower.





There doesn%26#39;t seem to be a forum on the net for stuff like this and anyway, I just wanted to show this to people who like the Stardust.





I hope you guys don%26#39;t mind. I have a video of it on youtube. I see I can%26#39;t post pics here.

Just checked this out : )





What a tribute! A little piece of Vegas as home!!!!!!!



Super!!!!




WOW! That is very cool. I wonder how they did all that?




That is too cool! How did you do that? Very nice job! I too miss the Stardust. :(




Thank you guys! I built it from scratch using picture frame materials (like foam board) from work. I am thinking of making Stardust and other notable casino hotels like Ceasar%26#39;s Palace or Circus Circus for hiding computer towers, and then selling them on eBay, but this forum is not for soliciting, so I probably shouldn%26#39;t say too much about that.

I like it. Kinda wish I%26#39;d have thought of it! I guess the Stardust is really one of the only hotels out there you could do this with.




Forget the Stardust- big better casinos are going to take it%26#39;s place as well as the Riverias, New Frontiers, Tropicanas, etc. LEt the wrecking balls start!!!!!




Very cool idea. I have bought and sold alot on ebay. I think you%26#39;ll do pretty good with it.
