A wider view showing you how this all fits together
with the Docking Bay Neon Entrance Wall.
Don't panic, I jumped ahead of myself ;p the making
of steps for that wall are coming up. |

Now it's time for the back wall of the Small Blastdoor
where the heroes see Ben fighting Vader.
Cut out a rectangle that fits 4 decals wide. |

Print out your decals and stick them to the foamcore
rectangle.
You can mixmatch any of the wall decals to add your
own touch, but this pattern is Movie Accurate. |

Time for the Neon Entrance.
I wish I still had the measurements to give you
for these steps, for now, just look at ALL the steps
to familiarise yourself with what I did.
Then return
here after taking your own measurements that fit
YOUR diorama. |

From this rectangle you need to cut out CURVED corners.
I remember I used a soup can for this.
Then measure the thickness of the beam and mark
that with a pencil. This is 3". Then make sure to
round out the INNER corners BEFORE CUTTING.
You should now have a piece that looks like this.
Trace this shape on another Foamcore Sheet and cut
out a duplicate piece for use later on Step 208. |

Now the Beam needs a THICKNESS to stand up straight.
You could just glue the flat rectangle opening to
a cardboard back if you don't want to spend the hours
to turn it 3 dimensional.
If you choose the long road, (good for you :) cut
strips of Foamcore 2" wide |

We need to curve the foamcore, in order to do so
cut SLITS at every 1cm but DO NOT CUT THROUGH !!!
Make sure to only slice the top paper and some of
the styrofaom. |
