Now peel them back and place the center of the Decal along the edge of the Door.

February 13, 2005

Bend on side of the decal onto the surface of the door.

Be sure to press down all over the decal or you will end up with a bubble on the corners like I did here (oops) LOL.

February 13, 2005

Don't worry if the door decla doesn't fit perfectly inside the triangle.

February 13, 2005

All you need to do is get your ruler and Xacto Pen and slice off the excess.

February 13, 2005

You now will have a perfect Door corner :)

February 13, 2005

Repeat the same process for the remaining 5 doors.

February 13, 2005

You also need to find 6 little scraps of foamcore about 1 cm wide.

February 13, 2005

Take your Blast Door frame and grab one of the cut rectangles.

February 13, 2005

Glue the 2 pieces together using your Hot Glue gun.

Repeat this step once more with the other frame and rectangle.

February 13, 2005

Now grab a regular frame and rectangle piece.

February 13, 2005

just as you did with the Front Frames, glue the 2 pieces together.

Repeat again to have 2 similar pieces.

February 13, 2005

You should now have 4 Blast Door pieces, 2 foamcore thickness.

February 13, 2005

Take your Xacto and carefully, with a NEW blade (to make smooth edges) follow the top layer as a guide.

For the rounded corners, you might want to switch to the PEN Xacto knives with the pointy triangle blades.

Watch your fingers !!!

February 13, 2005

After several minutes, you now have your fron Blast Door frame completed.

February 13, 2005

Do the same for the regular frames. these are a little easier since there are no round edges.

Do you want to make your own Death Star Blastdoor Diorama at home?
