- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > The cantina has a roof 🙂 Still a long way to go and time not on our side.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > The cool thing about Mos Eisley or anything on Tatooine really, is that you can use all kinds of materials to extend your building's main shape before putting the plaster bandages outer skin.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Another family experience to make me smile. I don't know who is having more fun 🙂 I knew those egg cartons would come in handy 🙂 A great way to make some Cantina chairs 🙂
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > One of the first Large Buildings completed and ready for the plaster skin. Just look at how cool that looks already.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > We ran out of room very early on so we improvised and used the surface table of the diorama. Turned out to be a really good idea. The surface was cheap wood, so we were able to cut into it with our Xacto blades and not worry about damaging the table surface.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Having the use of the Sunday diorama display area was a huge benefit to allow more space for fans to sit and build their house cores.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Is this a young Anakin ? 🙂 He is likely 25 today. Love to hear his memory of this experience.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Dad helping out his son make a really cool looking Small house.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Looking through scrap foamcore to add details to your build was a big part of the construction process.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > More builders of all ages arrive to join in on the fun.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Taking a look at my layout sketch to see how many buildings we have so far and what we need moving forwards to try to get it to all fit like this on Sunday.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Details added to your 12' square box is how fans distinguished their house from others. Star Wars fans imagination is the best.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Someone had brought in a box of greeblies (small bits and pieces used to add details to a model) to help make your house unique and create a more detailed Mos Eisley dwelling.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Should I put this here or there. After cutting the foamcore, workshop enthusiasts would use tape or the hot glue gun to assemble their pieces together. The hard part is indeed deciding where to add the details.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Laying on the plaster skin. I really love what he did with the multiple heights and domes. 2 sizes of Styrofoam balls, now that's smart 🙂
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Close up look at what the plaster skin layer looks like. What's cool about Tattoine, is that nothing needs to match, nothing needs to be perfect, the more your plater is messed up, the more it looks like the movie set. Look at these little windows. i love this.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Another angle showing the plaster bandages being applied to the foamcore. This will allow the actual plaster of Paris layer to stick to the building. If you just placed the plaster on the foamcore directly, the surface is too smooth and all would slip off and break instantly.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Capoocoosannah !!! This is the most amazing thing. Even Jawas need to go to the bathroom 😛 I think it's a bathroom LOL.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Another unique take of taking the basic rules shapes (12x12 or 12x24) and adding domes and a corner room. I love how this fan found razor blade caps to act as detail railings all around the roof.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Apart from the Cantina, we needed to make a Docking bay 94.
-
- CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE - MAY 03 > Can you see the wheels spinning in my head trying to figure out how we are going to do this LOL.
