220 grit sandpaper

Recreate one of the most iconic background props from Star Wars: A New Hope as I build the red Death Star door control panel seen throughout the Imperial corridors. In this step-by-step prop build, I break down the entire process—from scaling using real-world found parts to large-format 3D printing, bonding oversized sections, sanding, seam removal, and applying filler primer for a flawless base. You’ll also learn advanced painting and weathering techniques to achieve a screen-accurate finish, including how to make greeblies look like galvanized metal, apply vinyl decals and reflective details, and install functional LED indicator lights inspired by the original filming prop. Whether you're into Star Wars props, cosplay builds, or high-end 3D printing projects, this tutorial is packed with practical techniques to help you create display-worthy, theme park–quality replicas.
