Poke out the bottom after you cut all around. You should now have a 2 layer thick middle frame.

February 13, 2005

Once all your cuts are done, you would have 4 frames...

2 with decals (front and rear)
2 regular middle frames.

February 13, 2005

Take 2 Triangles and Hot Glue them to oposite cornes.

Remember to flip the frame on the backside. you don't want to stick the triangles onto the decals. But I am sure you figured that out allready LOL.

Oh and take 2 scrap pieces and attach those on the remaining 2 corners. This way all corners are raised the same thickness.

February 13, 2005

Now Hot Glue a middle Regular Frame to the Triangles and scap pieces.

Make sure both frames are at the same ends. Top is thicker and bottom is the thin border.

February 13, 2005

Now place 2 more triangles on top of this frame but at oposite corners from the last time.

Hot Glue 2 scarps on oposite remaining corners as well.

February 13, 2005

Now put another Regular frame and some more triangles.

This time on the same corners as the first triangles.

Finaly, sandwich all the layers together with another Decal Front frame. It's really easy, just takes a little time thats all.

Your Blast Door is completed . What do you think? does it look like the movie?

 

February 13, 2005

Oh one last thing for the Celebration Blast Door.

The end will be exposed so why not ad a Wall unit Decal of your choice.

February 13, 2005

And there you have it. The Blastdoor fits perfectly within the 1 grid of the Main Wall.

February 13, 2005

Oh yeah, even cooler is that it is exactly 5 units wide, meaning you can even place the Blast door on the back wall in between 2 Wall decals.

This will be really cool.if you want to create a room behind the main hallway.

This is what your diorama would look like with the Blastdoor on the wall. Really adds depth and movie realism.

February 13, 2005

This is what it looks like when the Blastdoor is placed seperating your main hallway.

Can you picture Han jumping over ? :)

Another angle showing how the doors also act as a hiding of the seems. And with some Halls going deep, it will look just awesome.

Sometimes the most simple dioramas (sticker on foamcore) make the best ones don't you think?

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