Now cut a piece to become the window ceiling. The measurements are 5cm X 11.5cm.

July 14, 2008

Align the ceiling piece FLUSH with the top edges of the "C" foamcore shapes.

July 14, 2008

Use the Hot Glue to secure the piece from the INSIDE like if you were sealing a bathtub.

This will avoid the glue to drip on the ceiling side that is seen in the diorama.

Now for the window sils. You need a top and a bottom. The bottom is slightly bigger then the top sil. by 1.5cm

Take the inside squares from the door frame cuts (see step 56) and cut out the tops of the pieces...

 

Measure 2cm from the top and create TWO 11.5cm X 2cm pieces. Now measure 11.5cm X 3.5cm for one of the big rectangles, and 11.5cm X 5cm for the other.

DO NOT CUT YET, just draw a line with your pencil.

Use the Hot Glue to attach the two smaller pieces to each of the bigger rectangles.

You want to put the glue along the edge of the BIG pieces and press the smaller rectangles onto the big pieces.

Now we need to cut the window sils to their proper length using the lines you measured in Step 64.

ONE IMPORTANT THING ...

The cut is at a 45 degree angle.

July 14, 2008

You want the max length of the piece to be on the bottom so that the decal will fit properly and the 45 degree angle slants inward to the right as you see in the photo.

Cut out the Ceiling decal.

July 14, 2008

Peel back the sticker sheet and apply it centered on the ceiling piece.

If you didn't print on sticker paper, use a glue stick to attach it to the foamcore.

DO NOT USE HOT GLUE.

July 14, 2008

Now take the 2 front and rear window decals and cut those out.

July 14, 2008

Apply one side, then flip the window and apply the other side.

It is EASIER if you align the TOP first and then let the sides of the stickers go down onto the length of the window frame sides.

July 14, 2008

Cut out and place one of the window inside walls.

July 14, 2008

There will be a little excess. Simply use your Xacto blade and trim the ends moving the blade along the foamcore edge.

July 14, 2008

You will now have a nice clean flush window edge.

July 14, 2008

Repeat the same for the other side of the window wall.
