Placing wire vine around the template creates the base structure for the bamboos.

After many many versions of building these platforms, we discovered that placing the wires on a raised "X" platform actually make it easier for the hot glue to NOT stick all over the place on the wire template (the round shape with the lollipop sticks). Having it raised allows the glue to drip down and not contact and bond directly with the foamcore.

After placing a few bamboos on the template like on a clock (which will then keep the wires in a circular shape) you can remove the wires from the main template and place it ontop of the "X" shape to finish the base. I hope I am not confusing you , I think I don't even understand what I just wrote LOL.

after 20 or 30 minutes, the platform starts taking shape. It really is an easy process, just repetitive.

A family made this cool bridge to connect their two trees together. Looking good :)

Another popular station was the Ewok Glider. All you need is 4 twigs. You can find that in your backyard right? :)

Pat fixing up his Vader Pyre custom for the Endor Diorama. Looking very cool. Wouldn't this make a COOL Hasbro Deluxe Figure?

The Ewok Painting was a HUGE success and a kids favourite. Hasbro could easily create this at home also. Imagine a box with 2-3 white Ewoks and 3-4 colors and a paint brush like paint by numbers kits. That would sell really well based on the turnout at the show.

Jamie measuring the supports for the AT-AT platform. We wanted to try and get this made asap and Jamie I knew was the man who I could trust in making it look movie accurate like he does on all his killer dioramas at his wookie workshop. And how cool is this shirt that was made from old Star Wars bedsheets :) very cool !!!
