Now cut 2 pieces to match the angle of the bench.
Use the Hot Glue Gun to bond it to the support beam.
The dotted lines indicate the joining seam. The black
arrows point at the 2 pieces that were glue in place
that will act as supports for the control panel. |

This better shows you how the angles all fit together.
Now to fill that big hole. |

I used a piece of paper to make my pattern then traced
it onto cardboard. This is the shape to cut. |

Take the cardboard and glue it in place with the
Hot Glue gun.
I used cardboard instead of foamcore because you
need the piece to fit snug in a circular angle.
This will become the control panel. Eventually Photoshop
decals will be applied here to give it the final movie
touch. |

Now back to Super Sculpey :) Make a long snake by
rolling the sculpey on a counter top. |

First, I used my Hot Glue Gun to secure the foamcore
back support to the main bench first. After that,
I pressed the snakes in place and then used the hair
dryer to harden the Super Sculpey for painting.
Make sure to wave the blow dryer back and forth to
avoid the foamcore from melting. |

I used my acrylic latex paints to cover the entire
surface.
You can't see very well in the picture but the pillows
are a lighter shade of grey. |

This is what the painted bench and table look like.
The bench might still be a bit too dark. I might
end up fixing that later on. |

I applied my Photoshop decals on the back supports
and although they are hard to see in the picture,
2 decals on the top cushions of each seat cushion
as well. |

To completely finish the bench I had to sculpt this
light fixture out of Super Sculpy.
I decided to not place real lights into this piece
because of the curves. |

Once hardened in the oven, I painted it with my acrylic
paints.
Looks good but I might add some glows in Photoshop
to the finished diorama poses. |

And the completed Island Bench in it's final resting
place inside the Falcon room. |
