Now the beams go on the side of the center supports
at a 45' Angle.
So carefully trim the bases of each support. Do not
cut both on the same side, you need to "mirror"
your cut.
Go down to picture 110 and you will better understand
what I am trying to say. |

Now we need supports for our beams.
Start by cutting this shape. Start with a 3X3 cm
square. Then make a 1 cm grid and you will find your
cutting lines with ease.
We need to make 2 shapes for each support. 4 supports
in all. |

Here are the pieces we need. After spending 3 hours
trying 4 different ways to make this shape look good,
I came to the conclusion that cardboard woorks best.
Cut a rectangle shape 8 cm X 4.5 cm. From left to
A measure 1 cm. A to B 2.5 cm. B to C 1 cm C to D
2.5 cm and D to the right another 1 cm. |

Using Hot Glue, attach the carboard piece to the
foamcore front.
Wait till it dries and then attach the same foamcore
piece on the back end.
Make sure to have a clean flush surface. |

Here you can better see what I was trying to explain
about the 45' angle cuts in the supports being mirrored.
The dotted line is to show where the piece looked
like before the cut. |

Hot Glue the 2 supports to the base making sure that
both are aligned with the back of the support and
that the bottom is at 1 cm distance from the support
bottom. |
|

Next I cut a small piece to add strength and keep
the 2 beams at the same distance top to bottom. |
|

I used hot Glue to secure this piece in place. |

And here we have our finished support beam.
Not only is it movie accurate, this also helps hide
the craks between the Window Wall and the Side Walls. |

When you finish making 4 support beams you can take
a break and get a glass of water :) |

Well palpatines office has a door, and it's time
to create the entry way.
Start with a 59 cm X 19 cm piece of foamcore. From
top measure 2 cm accross. Then another 4cm from the
top.
|
|
 |
From the left
measure 6.5 cm up to the first 2 cm. Then from left measure
14 cm to the 4 cm line. Do the same from the right side.
The curve is a 5 cm circle template. |

The cool part about this piece is that there is no
waste.
The cuts we just made give us the 3 pieces that make
the entrance hallway. |

I got a 4 cm poster tube from the local staples store
and cut it to 17 cm. |
|
 |
|
July 13, 2002
make a long cut from top to bottom, you want to cut
the tube in half. |
|
 |
|
July 13, 2002
Then take a half and cut that in 2 giving us a quarter
of the tube. |
