DIY Star Wars Data Panel with VIDEO!

VanOaksProps walks through building a Star Wars-inspired data panel as a personal display piece, centered around a 10-inch digital photo frame that plays looping video content. The build layers laser-cut panels, EVA foam details, split loom and drain hose greeblies, and LEDs to achieve an authentic sci-fi control panel aesthetic. Airbrushing and oil paint weathering give the finished piece a battle-worn, screen-accurate look. SVG and 3D files for the panel design are available through the creator's Etsy shop.

Theming a Star Wars Room

VanOaksProps presents a marathon compilation of five prop builds inspired by the signage, lighting, and environmental details of Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland. Each segment breaks down a different build step-by-step, covering fabrication, painting, and weathering techniques to achieve an authentic Star Wars 'lived-in' look. The video draws on a mix of accessible materials — including EVA foam and 3D printing — to help home builders recreate the feel of an in-universe environment. Though not Halloween-specific, the set-design and prop-making skills translate directly to sci-fi haunt and themed-room builds.

DIY Star Wars Control Panel with Lights!

VanOaksProps walks through a detailed replica build of the iconic red Death Star door control panel from Star Wars: A New Hope. The project spans the full production pipeline — from scaling reference parts and large-format 3D printing to seam removal, priming, and advanced painting. Weathering techniques give greeblies a convincing galvanized-metal look, while vinyl decals, reflective accents, and functional LED indicator lights push the result toward screen-accurate quality. The finished piece is positioned as a display-worthy, theme-park-caliber prop suitable for haunt set dressing or serious Star Wars collections.
