-
- STEP 121 > Bend the side that overlaps onto the short flaps and press together.
-
- STEP 122 > Place the cube on a clean surface and press down the 2 short flaps until the glue dries.
-
- STEP 123 > All that is left is to seal the lid.
-
- STEP 124 > Make sure it all fits well before you put the glue on.
-
- STEP 125 > For the lid I switch to gluestick so that I have more time to play with until it dries, since I can't stick my fingers inside to put pressure and smoosh the hot glue flat.
-
- STEP 126 > Apply your gluestick to the 3 short lid flaps.
-
- STEP 127 > Close the lid and press slightly on the sides to form a bond without crushing your cube :O
-
- STEP 128 > Ready for assembly... Put some hot glue on the top of your toy caps. You may have to fill a few of the holes to get enough glue there to connect with your cube.
-
- STEP 129 > Grab your core cube, align the holes with the straw and slide it all the way down pressing lightly until the glue starts to harden.
-
- STEP 130 > Take your top spool and put hot glue along the tops of the toy caps. Fill in the holes if you need to.
-
- STEP 131 > Carefully fit the straw into the spool hole and slide it all the way down. If you properly aligned your beads this should be easy peezy.
-
- STEP 132 > Gently press the toy cap wheel against the top of your core cube. IMPORTANT: Do NOT press too hard as you will smoosh and crsh your cube.
-
- STEP 133 > Is it starting to look like a Moisture vaporator now ? 🙂
-
- STEP 134 > Here is the 3.75" Han to show you the scale. You can also see how our version is more movie accurate than the hasbro toy version.
-
- STEP 135 > Now take a large kebob stick.
-
- STEP 136 > Insert it into your base straw to keep it from collapsing in the next step.
-
- STEP 137 > We want to trim the exposed base straw so grab your scissors and place them against the top bead. Cut through the plastic, then spin a little, cut again, spin around, cut again until you go all the way around. The large kebob stick prevents the scissors from closing and crushing the straw tip closed.
-
- STEP 138 > The exposed excess base straw is now gone we are ready for the antennae.
-
- STEP 139 > take a standard 6" kebok stick.
-
- STEP 140 > 2 small wood beads and 2 textured silver beads. If you can't find these in your store, try to get as close to size as possible.

That is Awesome !!! You can find out all the details on how to email me your photos on the VISITORS SUBMISSIONS INFO page … When I get your photos, I will create your very own page just like this one. You may not realize it but work does inspire others to join in the fun of making Action Figure Dioramas.

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. I realize I cannot control what one does with my graphics once I place them on the web, I can only ask you as one fan to another, please respect the artist and do not be that jerk who uses my designs and tutorials to build a copy of my work only to sell it on EBAY or trade/sale groups and forums. Thank You. Frank.
