Then I started to build the stairs for two of the four buildings...

In the first picture you can see the gluten shortly after I brushed it on the styrofoam. The stairs are made out of styrofoam and wood.

So here are some further datails:

If you look at the picture "stairs-building D" you'll see a little hideout  for astromech droids or for any "bad" characters of the original movies like  Garindan.

Next up I will show you how I made the buildings bottom. I thought it would be best to use a piece of rubber fly-screen.
For painting the four floors I used the following colors of Revell (picture 2).

I put some adhesive tapes at the edge between wall and the screen to avoid that the paint gets on the wall.

In pictures 3 and 4 you can see how I painted the floor of building C with 381 SM.

Toaday I'll show you how I made the building's doors and the frames for them...

Let's start with a little tutorial how I made the frames:

I used a 5mm x 5mm thick staff of wood for the door frames. You can move the doors in between the frames so that you can get a figure through the entrance  into
the building (...).
The longer staffs have a length of  14cm and both shorter ones are 12cm long. The size of the doors is 12cm x 7cm so you don't see the doors from the outside when they're behind the wall...

It's important that the door covers the doorway so that the door cannot fall out of the frame.

In the first picture you can see a frame with a piece of wood of the same size like the doors I made out of 2mm wood and 2 profiles which are each 1mm thick...so the doors are 4mm thick and have 1mm space between the wall and the frame because the frame's staffs are 5mm thick...That's how I made it in the past, but, indeed there are better ways to do the doorframes...

The second picture shows a door from outside the building C...

Thanks a lot guys. I am pretty honored that you like the shape I posted first, but there is still a lot to post like the 6 further door-profiles I also have done ...stay tuned for that and have a nice day.
