To make the box, as before, just cut out 1 cm strips of foamcore

December 16, 2001

Hot Glue the strips to the piece you cut out from the wall.

December 16, 2001

Use you hot Glue Gun to attach the box to the back of the wall. Now we are ready to paint.

December 26, 2001

I used my car spray paint to cover all exposed pieces.

I then printed and glued my grid decals on the right section where the "pipes" will be placed.

December 26, 2001

Next I used the same technique as on the opposite wall, I glued in place various wires with my Hot Glue Gun.

Just placing them until I was happy with the general look.

December 26 2001

Time to poke holes in the grid section. Start with a fine tool like a needle and then poke a pencil to make the hole wide enough to fit the cords.

December 26, 2001

I then took my rope and stuck it through the holes.

I used my Hot Glue Gun to secure them in place at the base.

Once the glue had cooled off and hardened, I trimed the ropes to about 1/2 cm from the base.

December 26, 2001

Here we see what the ropes look like on the front side. I again used my Hot Glue Gun to attach them to the bottom of the wall using only a small drop to avoid making a ugly mess.

I knew my extra Commtech Chips would come usefull one day :)

For details, I painted a Commtech Chip with silver paint and secured it to the board with a drop of Hot Glue.

December 26, 2001

For these details I just gathered used interesting looking odds and ends that I found lying around the house.

The top is a protector cap from spray paint and the bottom is a piece from an old utility knife.

Of course you can use other items, just find some cool looking objects and glue them in place.

December 26, 2001

On the left I just placed some fancy thumb tacks and a plastic button.

We now have our finished wall number 3 :)

December 26, 2001

Here we see how it completes the look of the real movie set.

This angle is when we see luke training with the seeker.

Making this wall removable will allow us to view wall number 4 where han sits at his console.

December 26, 2001

So back to wall number 4.

I used my car spray paint to cover all exposed areas and this works great as a base coat for the straws that I will paint over in the next step.

December 26, 2001

Looking at the movie pictures you can see that the center pipe is blue. So that was the first thing to do.

I also painted the other straws silver to lighten them up a little and make a contrast from the wall color.
