DESIGNING ENDOR : BIG TREE HUT

 
 

March 10, 2007

We are ready to attach the roof to the Hutt Walls and Tree Trunk.

Try and find a placing that looks nice and even on both sides.

Now place some Hot Glue on the TOP CENTER flap ONLY and press against the Tree Bark.

Hold with your fingers for a few seconds until it stays stuck to the bark.

After the center is attached, you can move on to the TWO remaining side flaps.

This is how the Roof will lokk like when you are done.

Cool isn't it ? :)

Again, here is a better view on how to apply the Hot Glue to the flaps.

To make sure the roof realy sticks well to the Bark, you can place one hand INSIDE the tree and press against the Roof.

Don't press TOO hard. You don't want to make a hole in the roof - LOL.

So our Hutt is now complete. We can now move on to detailing the rest of the platform.

Oh yeah, but first, we need to make the underneath supports.

Take your Hot Glue and place a drop on ONE end of a bamboo twig.

March 10, 2007

Lean it up against the UNDERSIDE of the platform then move the bottom of the twig (where the glue is) against the Tree Bark.

March 10, 2007

Continue and repeat this steap a few times until you go all the way around.

There isn't any real number of supports you NEED to place. Use your eyes to make it look good.

You can now turn the tree upside down, and place some Hot Glue Drops on the other end of the twigs (the ones touching the platform)
