Ah, time for another accessory... Remember the Doorway that hits the Stormtrooper on the head in the Red room :)

I printed the Door Frame decal I created in Photoshop and peeled and stuck it of the black foamcore.

February 13, 2005

Here is our cut frame of our main Doorway. Aply a 2nd Decal to another piece of foamcore and repeat the steps to create 2 Door Frames.

February 13, 2005

You need thickness for the Door way. So 2 pieces for the sides in similar size and a smaller piece for the ceiling.

The Hot Glue Gun does the trick to attach the Right Wall to the Front Door Frame.

Repeat for the other side. make sure, it's VERY important that the pieces are flush with the frame so that the Decals work as designed.

The ceiling goes at the TOP of the archway, NOT the top of the box.

February 13, 2005

Remember to get the piece as flush as possible to the Front Frame or you will have lumps in your Decals.

The assembled Door Way minus the Floor. that comes later...

February 13, 2005

For now cut 4 pieces of Cardboard NOT foamcore. these will create rounded corners for the Decals to rest on.

February 13, 2005

Use GlueStick on the back of the cardboard. make sure to cover ALL outer edges.

February 13, 2005

Now place along one of the Top corners. Don't press into the corner until the ends are aligned with the frame.

See what a perfectly rounded corner you get? Much easier then the foamcore bend technique.

Besides foamcore would be too thick.

February 13, 2005

Now the cardboard acts as a rounded wall from front to rear. Don't panic about the seems because they will be hidden with the Decals.

February 13, 2005

Now take the remaining cardboard rectangle. this will be the Floor of the Doorway.

Use a Gluestick (works better then hot glue for this part) and smother the base of the foamcore floor.
