The entrance hall, zone 1, 'The Crypt' is taking shape. We installed 3 vacuform panels, each about 3 x 4'. For those of you who don't know what they are, here are some examples
They are pre-molded wall panels made of 'ABS plastic' which is like a thin fiberglass if I were to describe the feel of it. They create a 3-dimensional xtreme realistic effect which can be a variety of themes. Probably Disney uses these on a much bigger scale. If you check out the examples above you can also see they are not cheap. I looked everywhere. Even direct from the manufacturer, unpainted single wall panels are close to $200. We got these 3 half wall panels for a little over $200. This is why we are only using them in the entrance hall where there will be enough light to see them. They do require a wood frame for mounting. You can drill small holes in the corners for screws.
You have to admit this looks pretty amazing and definitely worth it! Now remember this is under normal light. It's not going to be this bright. I hope to show a preview of what it will REALLY look like soon!
