-
- STEP 241 > Keep the rear of your decal raised so it doesn't touch the foamcore just yet (left image green arrows) as you perfect the alignment of your decal (left image red arrows) Make sure the WHITE EMBOSS is at the TOP. When you see that your top and bottom grooves (right image yellow arrows) match up start pressing down with your finger along the 1cm edge of your decal (right image red arrow) Keep the opposite side of your decal RAISED for now.
-
- STEP 242 > Now we repeat the same technique as we did for the other skins. Always Centre, Up, Right, Left, always return to centre first before starting a new direction (left image red arrows) Let your raised hand lower slowly (left image) as the opposite hand gets closer and presses more and more of the decal onto the foamcore surface. Continue until you reach the top and the entire decal is applied to the foamcore (right image red arrows).
-
- STEP 243 > This is what it looks like when you are done.
-
- STEP 244 > Time for the next panel.
-
- STEP 245 > Peel back your decal.
-
- STEP 246 > Align at the top and bottom of your wall (red arrows) and keep it flush with the side's edge.
-
- STEP 247 > Again keep top lifted high off the surface (left image green arrow) as you gently secure the bottom of the decal to the foamcore (left image red arrow). Now you can use the Centre side Centre up technique on the rest of your decal (right image).
-
- STEP 248 > We want to connect the wall onto this side edge (red arrow).
-
- STEP 249 > Put a line of hot glue along the right side front spine of the door.
-
- STEP 250 > Start by placing the bottom left corner of your wall to the corner of the door (left image red arrow 1) then slowly bring the top closer to the door until the 2 sides connect (left image red arrow 2) Make sure that the top panel lines are lined up together (right image red arrows).
-
- STEP 251 > You can flip the door to the other side and lay the connected wall on the table surface. Press the wall into the door and keep that pressure for 30-40 seconds.
-
- STEP 252 > You can add Scotch Tape to the edges if you want to doubly make sure it will never pop apart.
-
- STEP 253 > Make sure that the white emboss is always on top all the way across.
-
- STEP 254 > Put another line of hot glue along the spine (red arrow).
-
- STEP 255 > Align the wall with the door at the top and bottom (red arrow) and make sure the top emboss panels match up too (green arrows) Keep pressure towards the centre for 30-40 seconds.
-
- STEP 256 > Flip your door again and press down on the door (red arrows) as you push the wall tight against the door frame (green arrows).
-
- STEP 257 > Some more optional Scotch Tape.
-
- STEP 258 > Here you can clearly see the difference between the Style "A" illusion decal on the table and the actual real closed door of Style "B" which clearly gives us a better 3D look as it is not just a decal. Style "C" has the same door frame but no closed door which allows you to see to the other side - a 12 cm wide hallway.
-
- STEP 259 > Now you want to align your wall right against the start of your white ceiling lights (top image green arrows) Lower your wall until it arrives flush (top image red arrow) Make sure you are aligned equally at every blue colour (bottom green arrows)
-
- STEP 260 > You want the back of your door frame to be lined up flush with the rear edge of the ceiling (red lines).

NOT FOR RESALE ALL Decals, tutorials and artwork are ©FrankDiorio (dioramaworkshop.com) and offered FOR FREE to the fans – that would be you ? so you can build and display my diorama designs in your very own home.
