Gently press down on the door until it reaches halfway
accross the archway.
Continue until you see exposed the side wall control
panel (the one that is blasted to lock the door)

Your Movie Accurate Doorway is complete.

Now time for the Closet where C-3P0 and R2 are hiding
from the Stormtroopers.
Cut out 3 pieces of foamcore. the first center piece
being 7cm X 15.5cm and TWO wall pieces measuring
4cm X 15.5cm.

Start by using the Hot Glue gun to secure the Left
wall to the Rear wall.
Allign it on TOP of the rear wall and outside edge. |
|
 |
|
|

Repeat the same technique for the Right wall. |

You now need to build the Closet Wall pieces. ALL
pieces are 15.5cm in HEIGHT. The width measurements
are as follows...
#1 is 3cm (same as decal)
#2 is also 3cm (decal width) and #3 is 9cm (to fit
the decal)
BUT WAIT !!!! STOP !!! |
|
 |
After doing this and taking the
picture, I realised YOU CAN CUT ONE piece 12cm Wide and
save you a slice in your decals.
#4 is also 9cm (decals width)

Apply the wall decals to the foamcore pieces. Make
sure they are in this order if you want to retain
movie accuracy. |
|

Use the Hot Glue and attach pieces #1 and #2 (or
#2/#3 if one piece) to the closet walls. |
|
 |
|
|

I had to Hot Glue #3 to #2 since I had made them
as TWO pieces, but you should have both pieces as
ONE to save a step and make the wall look better. |

You now need to cut out 2 more half wall decal strips. |
|
 |
|
|
July 14, 2008
Peel back and apply them to the INSIDE of the closet
walls.
Make sure to allign the inside edge with the main
fron wall panels. You want to avoid seeing a big black
gap on the corner seam. |
|
 |
|

Repeat the same procedure for the other side of the
closet. |
|
 |
|

Now cut out the closet door decals. If you were to
make the doors open, you would have to cut down the
center of the decal.
I chose to leave it as one piece. |
|
 |
|
July 14, 2008
Wrap the decals around a cardboard tube. You can
see instructions for this in the Death
Star Hallways instructions. |
|

Now the Closet door doesn't stick out properly on
its own so we need to add 4 layers of scrap foamcore
to elevate the door at he correct level. |
|
 |
|
July 14, 2008
Here you can see what the closet door looks like
when glued to the 4th layer of foamcore scraps.
The foamcore layers are hidden behind the door where
the Yellow arrow is pointing. |
