Let's attach the rear wall of the Falcon Docking Bay.

We need to cut out a 49.5 X 101.5cm rectangle. This will give us a 3 storey tall wall.

Now we don't want to block the entrance to the Blast Doors do we? :)

Measure 30cm deep by 15.5cm tall and cut that piece out.

See how the wall now fits perfectly around the Blast Doors?

Use the Hot Glue to attach the wall to the Alcove.

In the front view, We see how the Blast Door can now lead us into the Death Star Hallway of your choice.

A few Decals brings us a long way :)

I decided to base my design on the original 1977 Docking Bay, NOT the Special Edition version we see on the DVD's. If you want that version, just follow the instructions from the Palpatine's Arrival Diorama.

I used my Laserdisc copy to make sure this layout is still movie accurate :)

I left some blank spaces on the wall because this is where we will place some Small Rounded Walls.

Not only is this like in the film, but will add great support for the ceiling if you decide to stack more rooms onto your Modular Death Star.

Time for Wall #2.

This is where Luke, Han, Chewie and Leia enter the Docking Bay just as Vader is in full duel with Obi-Wan.

Let's start with a 39.5cm X 15.5cm rectangle.

Peel your stickers and attach them onto your front wall.

As we did for the Ventilation and Blast Doors, use your Xacto Pen to cut around the embossed edges of the decal.
