So here is a detailed look at how I build the doors. The part in the middle is a 12x6x0.2 cm piece of wood and the two pieces beside are have a size of 12x6x0.1 cm and got the individual door profile.

After cutting the profile out of the 1mm balsa wood you can glue the profiles on the middle part from both sides of the door. I used the wood glue of PONAL for glueing all wood parts...

After the wood glue has dried (after about 6 hours) I painted the doors from both sides with a combination of Revell's beamless 85 and 37.

I cut them out of paper first. Then I drawed the profile on the balsa wood and cut them out.

And on the  same way you can fabricate the window shutters. I took three pieces of balsa wood so the shutters have a deepness of three mm and bruched them with the same colors of the doors (Revell's beamless 85 and 37).
Then I locked the shutters into the block-ou of the walls.

Depending on how many windows a building has you need quite a few window shutters for Tatooine buildings and preparing them all is  a bigger piece of work...

Legion078, I have to say, I am totally impressed. Your creations hark back to model making pre-plastics. My father used to build stuff like this! You have an amazing skill, thank you so much for giving us an insight into your creations. You really are a master!

 Today, I will continue showing you further details of the doors and how to build the frame.

In the pictures you can see the five diffenrent door shapes I used for the diorama. For the second plate I will create some more. As soon as I will have adapted the building's wall paint I will do the door frame's shape like in the original movies and comics...
