Finally made the Window into Space section and made the backside of the diorama prettier. The backside has visible screws that I wanted to hide. Since the Window into Space is a panel that had to be glued to the backside, I figured that I could use that to hide some screws and, by adding a second panel to the side wall, hide the rest of them. The cut on the cheap ply looks ugly compared to the cut on the smooth cut on the main boards, so I decided to make the panels about 1cm smaller on each side. I painted the panels dark grey and glued them to the backsides. |

After looking at all the empty space in the window, I decided to add one more star. This one. This will go into the upper right corner of the window, hence the weird shape. |

So they're on the Death Star and outside the window you see . . . the Death Star?? How about a Star Destroyer instead? Scott |

Scott --- End quote --- Hmmm. That didn't occur to me. However, I do have a problem, which is the size limit of what I can do (the Death Star is about 12cm wide and 9cm deep). Whatever I make has to go into the upper right corner, as this is about the only place not obstructed by Snoopy and Woodstock. At first, I wanted to do a TIE fighter, but it turned out that in order to be able to do the small details, it would have filled about half the window. I suspect that the Star Destroyer would be even worse. So the Death Star might be illogical, but it's the only thing that I can think of that is instantly recognizable and fits the size restrictions. |

I was picturing something like this, but more of a nose-down angle to emphasize the length and triangular shape. - This crops out the detailed superstructure while keeping most of the diamond rear-profile and three main engines that everyone remembers from the original opening scene. Scott |
