DESIGNING THE DEATH STAR

Now gently press the remaining of the sticker till you reach the other side. You DON'T want air bubbles to form here. Your Regular Tube accessory is now complete :)

Here you can see how these accessories add detail and movie accuracy to the set. The great thing also is that they fit perfect within the "Grid System" The Regular measures 1 Unit and the Big is 2 wide.

You can even place them side by side in your Diorama. It's all in your choice. That's the cool thing about the Death Star. The decals are the same so it looks consistant but you can all have different Halls depending on each of your imaginations.

Let's move onto a Corridor Door. These are 2 Units wide. I decided to make mine on the 2nd and 3rd grid marks. The black area will be cut out but as you can see, the Top Support of the Decal is kept as an arch. Keep the bottom halves, you will need them later.

Now cut out the black area of the Foamcore. This will give you the width of the Hallway Corridor.

Now make a copy of the Decal Wall for the opposite side and place your stickers as you did on the Main Wall. Remember to place them on the Mirrored side, you don't want the same side decorated on both pieces.

I next cut out 3 pieces to make the inside walls. 2 for the sides and one for the top.

Use the Hot Glue gun to attach the 3 pieces to one of the walls. Remember Decal side face down. Take your time and attach 1 piece at a time.

Once cooled and secured, I placed the Top piece, aligning it with the wall sides and ceiling.

The really COOL thing about the design is that it is exactly ONE unit wide. Which means you can place it pretty much anywhere in the scene.
