Use the Hot Glue to attach the pieces all around
the top side of the Layer 2.
The blue arrows point to the pieces I have just added.
Remember to NOT align the pieces with the Layer 2
edge. You want it to stick out somewhat. |

Turning the roof upside down, we can cleary see the
excess sticking out like we wanted. |

Use a Very Sharp Xacto, this is a good time to snap
your blade.
Cut along slowly around the edges of the layer 2
so that you get a flush inner circle. |

The blue arrows point to the thickness we just added.
It was hard to see in the photo, so I added a bit
of orange to the foamcores and better indicate that
there is now, an extra ring of foamcore all the way
around. |

Now for the layer 3, the main ceiling.
We want to get a piece that sticks out over the edges
of the Layer 2 shape. To do this... |
|
 |
|
|
July 28, 2002
Flip the Layer 2 ring on it's back and place it on
a new piece of foamcore. Trace the inside circle with
a pencil and DO NOT cut anything yet. |
|
 |

We want the circle to stick out so draw a circle
all the way around at about 4-5 cm distance from the
line you just traced. Sound confusing? |
|
 |
|

The orange line is the trace line from the layer
2 center ring.
The green line is the extra 4-5 cm we added and the
line that we will be cutting.
The cut circle shape of the foamcore was already
cut from a previous step, I just used a leftover piece
that fit, instead of a new sheet. |

Now that we have cut along the outer markings we
are ready for the raisers. |

Just another quick view to make sure the piece sticks
out properly. |
|
 |
|
July 28, 2002
I decided that 2 cm was the best looking height for
the center so I measured 2 80 cm X 2 cm strips along
with 1 50 cm X 2 cm strip (not shown, for the bottom
straight edge of the circle)
Use the Xacto every cm or so to score the strips
and allow them to bend around the ceiling.
|
|
 |
Make sure NOT
to cut all the way through to the other side. I think you
guys are becoming pros at this technique by now :) |
|
July 28, 2002
Use the Hot Glue and attach the strips all the way
around the edges of the Layer 3 Ceiling. |
|
 |
|
July 28, 2002
Now we can place the layer 3 on top of Layer 2 and
careully turn it around. |
|
 |
|

Here we go, what the finished ceiling looks like.
Pretty cool eh? I love it :) |
|

Ooops, did i say finished - LOL.
I was looking at the reference photos and notice
one more tiny detail... you don't have to do this
but I think it makes it look better.
There is a 2nd layer detail on the Layer 1 strip.
|
|
 |
I took a new
piece of foamcore and layed the Layer 2 on top. |
