-
- STEP 161 > You know the drill, hot glue the 4 miniature clothes pin tips.
-
- STEP 162 > Carefully align, press and hold the pole in place for a few seconds until the hot glue cools down.
-
- STEP 163 > Take your last pole and put your hot glue dabs on.
-
- STEP 164 > Align and press into position, hold for a few minutes until the hot glue cools down.
-
- STEP 165 > The poles are installed, we are almost done. Which do you prefer ? The one you made of the hasbro too small version 😛
-
- STEP 166 > One of the last details to make this movie accurate are the 2 horizontal pipes that go in front of one of the center cube sides. Take a straw and cut them 6 cm lengths. Also need 4 mini caps. I used googly eyes 🙂
-
- STEP 167 > Hot glue a googly eye to the tips of your straws.
-
- STEP 168 > When you paint them it looks like one pipe beam. Remember tan paint first and dirty dark brown after.
-
- STEP 169 > See how our pipes are placed just like the Hasbro version. These pipes don't really need hot glue to keep in place unless you really want to.
-
- STEP 170 > The pressure from the spool and the 2 poles keep the straw beams in place all by themselves.
-
- STEP 171 > Slide them up and down until they match the photo, just slightly off the center of the spool.
-
- STEP 172 > This is optional but I included extra little beads to glue onto the center cube to give it a little bit of 3D extrusion vs just flat decal. Paint it tan and dirty after.
-
- STEP 173 > The Moisture Vaporators also have little hoses or such so I stuck 2 push pins into the top spool. Make sure to paint and dirty any extras you glue or press on.
-
- STEP 174 > Last is the antennae weather vane. Cut the shape from your decal print and fold it onto itself to form a 3 point vane. Put gluestick on the back, fold and press each 2 edges together with your fingers to make the 2 paper thickness look like 1. Pressing side 6 onto side 1 will seal the decal to the tip of your kebob stick.
-
- STEP 175 > if you prefer a 3D look, you can hot glue 3 miniature clothes pins to the tip of the antennae as well.
-
- STEP 176 > There you have it, you have a really cool hand made Moisture Vaporator, just like the fans built in Orlando 2012, at our Star Wars Celebration VI Diorama Builders workshop.
-
- STEP 177 > All you need now is some sand, sawdust, some buildings, action figures to dress it all up like in the movie and your diorama turns into a movie set :).

Thank You. Frank.
