If you watch Star Wars, you will see the Death Star ceilings have black and white strips so I cut some foamcore the depth of the Diorama floor and half of one Unit.

Using the Hot Glue gun, I start with aligning the first piece to the edge of the floor.

Then, you grab another strip for spacing, and Glue the other down. Make sure to NOT glue your spacer or you will be in BIG Poo Poo- LOL.

This is what your 2 attached pieces should look like once you remove the spacer strip. Continue on until you have the entire floor covered ...

... and looking like this. Now you are ready to flip it back right side up and stack it on to your other Death Star Hallways.

So as you can see, the top dioramas floor now also acts as the Bottom Dioramas ceiling.

Only 2 rooms and already i am getting excited :D Imagine when 500 of these will be side by site and on top of each other? :) WOW !!!

This is how the 2 Hallways look like side by side instead of stacked. When it reaches 60 feet long, should be pretty impressive :)

Of course in your own home, 2-3 feet will be just as cool :)

Another abgle showing how the doors also act as a hiding of the seems. And with some Halls going deep (more on that next week) it will look just awesome.

Sometimes the most simple dioramas (sticker on foamcore) make the best ones don't you think?

Ah, time for another accessory... Remember the Doorway that hits the Stormtrooper on the head in the Red room :)

I printed the Door Frame decal I created in Photoshop and peeled and stuck it of the black foamcore.
