Celebration Europe 2023 - Jabba's Gate Door Build - Part 3


February 2023:
And Mike has almost finished the main sections of the door.
Tuesday 7th I popped up to help him test fit the upper section onto the base part. It all held together and is going to look great!

The rear view, showing a better structure than I had drawn up lol. With the wall section added, this will give additional structural support to the upper section.


We discussed the side wall part, which will be the section next to Mike, on the right (in above picture). A few ideas for simplifying it were discussed to keep weight, work and cost down. Making it easier for Mike to build.

Progress has seen the base coat of emulsion paint applied. The rough texture is required.

Before I knew it, Mike had started on painting the walls.

Progress of the colours.

He’d also made a start on the end wall structure:

Mike wasn’t the only one busy. I had been spray painting the eye components.


Next up was the arm links with the spikes on.
More in the next post….
