Ben Scott is a Christchurch man on a mission.
After a rugby injury stopped him from his day job a decade ago, he's gone from builder, to barber, and soon the owner of a unique entertainment hub.
Investors have already pledged $500,000 towards the project, but more is needed to get it over the line.
Wigram Air Base has had a turbulent history, but its ageing hangar has a new life ahead of it.
"We've got archery, axe throwing, mini golf, table tennis, basketball, golf simulators, indoor skatepark, pump track, foam pit, bar, cafe," Scott told Newshub.
Then there's also baseball batting cages, a super-sized pool table - and arguably the world's largest skateboard too.
"It's 18.5m long," said Scott.
"It can roll, I can't obviously push it by myself," he added.
For almost a century, Wigram was home to the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and it also hosted petrolheads.
But it closed in 2009, and since then the area has seen a boom in housing - but not much in the way of action.
Benny's Hangar hopes to change that.
"I ended up getting Tony Hawk Pro Skater on Nintendo Switch. Here's the mezzanine floor, the half pipes and the layout so I could go to the architects and show them the design," Scott said.
Scott's humble haircut days started in a caravan in his parent's backyard. Now, he's one of the city's largest employers of barbers - and he wants to extend the brand.
There's hope $750,000 will be pledged by the end of this month.
Investors get their money back if the target isn't reached, or a cut of the business if the target is reached.
"We plan on opening for the next set of school holidays that are coming up. Obviously, we need to get the PledgeMe over the line and get the place open," said Scott.
"It's a really big positive for our side of town - there's a lot happening over there," said Mark Peters, Christchurch City councillor.
"Post-earthquake over in our patch in the west, a lot of people have moved over there as quake refugees. To have more for them to do is absolutely excellent," he told Newshub.
