Star Wars Inspired Door Frame

[Jaehy]

I am hoping to get some help on a project a small local group is working on to support our 501st and Rebel's.

We are looking to build a Star Wars Inspired (It need not be accurate) Imperial style door frame. We'd like to set this up at conventions to allow people to walk through so we don't want the door part just a frame.

We are totally amatuers and this will be our first project and hopefully not the last.

We have a ton of passion and building skills but what we lack is blueprints or plans. We don't have any members with any design or CAD experience so were finding it hard to get this project off the ground.

My hope is someone can help or point me in the right direction on where to find some Star Wars Blueprints.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

You might find something of use on the Smuggles Room and from there the Smugglers Guild.
They do room builds.

I built this to close in my garage for Halloween. I used two 4’ x 8’ Hollywood flats (search YouTube for tutorials) and just laid out pencil lines for the trim until I was happy with the look. The raised portion is just 1/4” mdf glued and pin nailed.

The sides I built out of white foam as I wanted it to look like concrete.

A quick and dirty paint job later and this is what I had.

Any progress on your build?
I find foam board is great for large structures with a timber substructure.
Keeps it light but with the right fixings can be folded or broken down keeping it looking good for years and easier to transport.
You could get some nice curves with foam like the door above, foam board is quite messy and you really need a mask as fine particles but you can make awesome details with it..

Oh or something I did and wish I'd kept was polystyrene inserts from TV box, they look great and just need sticking together and paint for a quick turnaround but don't expect it to last unless you coat it with fibreglass or a resin but then your better off with option one..
