OK, after picking up the Decals at the Printers, going to Legends to get the Dioramas and stopping at Marc's Woodshop to get the Lifesize Death Star Panels, we had I swear, ZERO space for anything else.

It took 3 hours to pack, unpack, pack and unpack the van until we figured out how to get it all in.

Here is a close up view of the inside of the van. There is about 4 inches to spare to reach the ceiling.

I still don't know how we managed to pull it off LOL. Thank god US customs didn't ask me to unload everything because i am sure I would not have remembered how to put it all back. :)

Unloading the Van was long. Arrived at 12:30. I have to thank David and his Dad for finding me a trolly.

That is the worst part about setting up and taking down. The docking bay is like rats on a sinking boat LOL. It's every ewok for himself :)

So the panels are layed down in their correct order.

1pm... we start to assemble the Lifesize Death Star.

André and José are holding 2 of the Right Wall pieces. Door hinges got it all connected together rather easily.

By 2.30pm, we had the completed Left wall unit. The shelves were screwed in to help prevent toppling over and act as a display base for the Diorama Exhibit.

3pm, Eric and the Team start to put together the right wall panels.

Here I am trying to straighten the front wall. Getting the angles correct was a little tricky.

Even unpainted, it's easy to recognise what movie this set belongs to :)

4:30pm Eric shows us the scale of the Death Star entrance. With the super height of the convention center, They kind of look tiny even though 8 feet tall.

1 hour later, the center door section is assembled. We needed tables and extra help to get those pieces put together.
