Jules,

The main columns are made from 1/2" foam board and the roof and the floor of the gantrys ate 1/4 " foam board the cross on top of the gantry are going to be changed out with a concrete corner piece that looks the same way as the palsa wood pieces I cut out. It will look alot better and will be a little tougher for the kids to play with. I had to take one off to repair it. The funny thing is my boys are very carful with there stuff and certain kids are aloud to play in there room or they ell the kids what to play with.

Wow, it's made of Foamboard, I would never have known.

What are you using for the frame structures at each corner of the platform? I ask as I haven't been able to find anything like that when i made mine.

Cheers,

Jules

I'll Take a picture of it tomarrow for you. You  can find it at Home Depot. It's the corner they place on a stucco corner of a home it made up of a hard plastic. But, its bendable and easy to cut.

Here is a video of the Diorama room at night the boys are a not  sleeping yet. I sorry if the video is not so hot its a cheap digital camera.

If you need more light on it I could do this again later with a little help by a figure.

Here is another video sorry for the shaking of the video. What it show are decals that Jules (Hangarbay94) has given me to make my own Jedi Temple.
I placed the images in cadd a copied them a couple of time to make the floors and walls of the Temple. I'll be making a pdf of this to share so everyone could make a large decal of the floor. Thanks you Jules again for these.

Great stuff,   Next time I hit Home Depot I will be grabbing some of the girder material,  To me it's fun to snoop around the stores to see what kinds of odds and ends can be used in a new project.

DRYWALL EDGING, now I realise what it was...what a great solution.

I love your video. Your Death Star is the best use of Niub Niub's Decals I've ever seen.

Really great creations JT, you are "The Daddy".
