Ever get an idea in your head that just won't let go? My little boy's sixth birthday was coming up, And he's been complaining about the paint In his bedroom... I guess when you're six, nursery themes are not cool anymore... So I started to wonder what he would like. He is big into army, And of course he loves the dunes. I tried to think how I could combine the 2. So the idea started as being inside of a Fort, And looking out into the desert. I got a little help from a buddy in the Air Force, Who contributed the camo netting and some Aviation related components/ideas. It took 4 days to strip the room, paint the dunes, the sky, and the clouds, and to reassemble the room in time for The reveal on his birthday. I had some old ammo cans to use as props. We painted the fan like a P51 Mustang. The rest of the stuff I found on Amazon and eBay. I still might get out the airbrush for a little more detail on the dunes, As we had to rush due to our deadline. There is a lot of glare from the light in the pictures, And Pictures don't do it justice, as you Cannot see the clouds through the netting like you can in person. I personally think it looks better with his furniture in there as well . We feel it turned out really well, and Thought DDR might like this: He said he was so happy he was going to barf All of this happened after we gave him his bike I painted, where he said his first cuss word. He walked into the house , Where I had his bike waiting; Sat down in front of it, And said "HOLY $HIT" We later explained to our little kindergartner, That he probably ought not to say that again
