I don't think we've had a caption contest in this forum yet. And if there was ever a picture that begs for a caption this is it.

Me First: "Tubs is let out of his cage for one hour each night to take the virtual formation world by FORCE!"

In all seriousness, great pit. Be sure to take more pics once you have the PC and flight controls in place.

well only reason I have it is because in my tech class we had to do a Choice project. Well this is the only thing I could think of. So I bought the wood and started drawing and cutting. With only 45 min periods, minus 5 from the beginning of class due to the stragglers, and taking role, it took me I think 3 weeks. Which I was by myself, with some help on the difficult measurements from the teacher. So I am sure if I had some help, and more than 40 mins a day to work on it it could have been done in a couple of days. :D

Good job Tubs!
It's a great feeling of accomplishment I bet? Adding some paint to it, stickers, etc, will make the immersion into feeling like you are in a pit even better. The tough part is over, now enjoy.

when you get real abitious you could hook up some air cylinders and have them eject you onto your bed. EJECT, EJECT!!!!
