What this video covers
VanOaksProps recreates the control panel from the newly added storage lockers at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge as a functional prop for a real locker. The build centers on a custom 3D-printed panel that is primed, layered with multiple spray paint colors, and finished with oil paint washes and Rub n Buff to achieve an authentic, weathered sci-fi look. Final assembly uses button-head screws and VHB tape to mount the panel cleanly. The result is a screen-accurate-style replica suitable for Star Wars-themed spaces or Halloween haunt set dressing.
Key takeaways
- ◆A custom 3D-printed panel file (available on Etsy) forms the foundation of the build
- ◆Multiple spray paint layers — including blues, reds, and greys — replicate the distinctive Galaxy's Edge color palette
- ◆Oil paint washes and Rub n Buff create realistic wear and metallic depth
- ◆VHB tape and metric button-head screws provide a clean, secure final installation
