Warning: Photo heavy post
With Star Wars Celebration VI just around the corner, I wanted to share the build of a prop piece I helped make for the event. Several months ago, Midwest Robots was contacted to help build a back ground photo piece for the R2 Builders Club room at CVI. I jumped at the opportunity to help build Jabba's palace front door. Here are some photos of the build.
Clay programmed the CNC machine to make precise cuts in some insulation foam.
We place the cut pieces together to begin to visualize the whole piece and to make sure everything aligns.
We stand up the pieces to make check the height.
After we are satisfied with all the cuts, we begin to glue the piece together.
I didnt have a camera on the painting days, but here you can see the main door all painted.
Rob begins work on some of the weathering of the side pillars.
After the pillars are done. We stand everything up again to make sure everything aligns.
Clay found the perfect sandstone paint in a mis-matched clearance bin!
We add some texture to the paint to give it a sandy look.
Clay airbrushes some of the 'damage'. and 'Blaster marks'
The nearly complete door.
We added our mark to the finished product.
