After you cut your cardboard with your Xacto Blade,
Take your black marker and color the edges to hide
the ugly color of the actual cardboard surface.
Go slowly, you don't want the marker to make a line
on the Decal itself.

Once you have colored all four sides of the carboard
we are ready to attach it to Foamcore.
|
|
 |
|
|
October 24, 2004
Use the Cardboard shape and trace the countour onto
Foamcore and the cut out your strip with your Xacto
Blade.
|
|

Get your paintbrush out and paint all the exposed
sides of the Foamcore Strip and let dry (about 5 minutes
or so with Latex paint)
|
|
 |
|
|
October 24, 2004
Now take your Hot Glue Gun and attach the Cardboard
Strip to the Foamcore Strip.
Make sure to have the Decal on the OPPOSITE side
of your Hot Glue :P hee hee.
Your Top Panel Brace is now complete.

Place some Hot Glue on the Tip of the Top Panel Strip
and allign it with the Corner Wall Unit's Top Panel
(See the Yellow Arrow) and secure into place.
|
|
 |
|

Once the Glue hardens, attach the other side of the
Strip to the opposite Corner Wall Unit.

Time for the Corridor Floor.
I just cut a piece of Foamcore 57.5cm X 16.5cm.
|
|

Take the same Mac Tac used for the Table Top (step
34 page 4) and apply it to the Foamcore rectangle.
The size of this piece might change in time, once
I figure out how to connect all the Death Star Dioramas
into one Mega Diorama. For now, let's pretend it is
a free standing Diorama. Which you can choose to do.
that's what great about modular rooms.

Now print out the Neon Wall Decal sheet and apply
it to a piece of Foamcore.
|
|
 |
|
October 24, 2004
Use the Hot Glue Gun to attach the Neon Wall to the
center of the Corridor Floor.
You might want to make 2 or 3 of these if you want
to create a wider backdrop for when you want the Blastdoors
to Open Wider.
|

Here is where the Corridor Floor fits with the Main
Conference Room.
Note the piece is wider then the door opening so
that the Blastdoors can be pulled opened and closed.
|

And here is a front view of the Corridor and the
Neon Walls. Look how cool the Mac Tac reflects the
Neons just like in the real movie set. :D

Here's an inside view with the Conference Room Table
set in place. OOPS, the blastdoors aren't made yet
:P ... Pretend you don't see them. LOL.
|
|
 |
|
October 24, 2004
Let's make those Blastdoors :)
Print out the KLeft and Right Door Decals. The Top
Panels have already been used for the Top Strip. You
will be getting your Main Door Decals for this step.
