Millennium Falcon Mural Has It Where It Counts

Could Kimber G. be the coolest mom ever?


Well, considering the mural she painted for her son's bedroom...

...I'm thinking "yes."

I'm excited to tell you that Kimber got the idea here on Epbot, too, back when I featured the Falcon blueprint (and challenged you all to find the bathroom. Heh.) She used an overhead projector from the local school to transfer the image, and a mere 12 hours of neck-torturing tracing later, vóila!

Here's a close-up:

Kimber tells me she only included about 80% of the detail and labeling, which was more than enough even at this size. The finished graphic is about six feet across, not including labels, and Kimber personalized it for her little Jedi by writing, "Modifications noted and approved - Sam" off to the side.

And here's the happy Sam himself, posing with his mom's Force-full handiwork:

And that, my friends, is why having geek parents rocks. MTFBWY, Kimber & Sam!

How about you guys - were your parents geeks? What's the coolest, geekiest thing they ever did while you were growing up?
