I finally have a dedicated room and have started to build my new cinema.
The CRT projector has been mounted and a false frame wall has been built to support my home made screen.
More info on screen here
I am currently looking for some inspiration in terms of the design for the room. I have been preparing some basic parts using "blender" to get an idea of how things could turn out
Any tips on using "blender" would be appreciated as I have never used it before and am going through a bit of a learning curve.
Current thoughts are that the screen will live behind curtains (not in mock-up yet) which will operate by remote. In front of the curtains there will be an 8" - 12" lowered ceiling border. Above the border will be curved ceiling panels. Below the screen will be a small stage with a hollow behind the screen to take the electronics. The overall size of the room is 15' long by 10' wide
I am unsure whether to hide the speakers inside false columns or just leave them in full view.
I will post other ideas as they occur to me. I will take photos along the way to keep a record of the build.
