Spook, THANK YOU!  This is a GREAT tutorial and very well-written and easy t understand!  I am currently using foamcore in a fairly large project, so this is very helpful to me right now. 

So far, I have one question.  How did you make the first small "edging rail" around the curved platform that you cut the light holes in? (refer to below photos)

First I cut slots in the edging of the landing platform so that later I could insert LED lights to illuminate the platform


Then I put another layer around the edge of the landing platform to cover the slots

Okay, that's what my *guess* was that you'd done.  Thanks!!

Wow, uh, don't know what to say other than I like this a good bit.

TESB is my film, I only collect items of this genre now, and this diorama rocks. Thanks for sharing with us how you did this.

I could definitely see a bmf falcon or bmf slave one on this (as long as it is in TESB colors Clint). I am also left wondering what the best astromech would be to use for this meaning; have we ever gotten an R2 with a good rod interface?
