Large Star - Take your magic wand tool and click in centre to float. Modify - Expand by 3. C/paste paper 10. Invert the selection and hit delete. Still selected C/paste a close up of your tube. Position where desired beneath the floating selection and hit delete again. Select none. Move both layers beneath the star layer. Apply radiance to suit your tube and change blend mode to Luminance Legacy.

Small Star 1 - Click in centre with magic wand to float. Add a new raster layer and flood fill with blue ( I used #212256 ) Select none and move new fill layer below star. In tool palette select Symmetric shape - Star - Number of sides 5 - Create on vector checked and with  background and fill properties in colour palette set on white, create a small star. Convert to raster. Duplicate a couple of times and position within the star and d/shadow.

Small Star 2 - Click in centre with wand to float. Modify - Expand by 3. Add new raster layer and flood fill with a vertical stripe using pattern in your material palette. I use Psp9  my pattern was graphic 10. Angle 90 - Scale 50. I used manual color correction to change my black stripe to red #a82033. Select none and move fill layer below star layer. 

Apply Chrome ( see settings below ) to all 3 star frames and d/shadow.

C/paste your main tube to the right of your close up and drop shadow.  

Now work desired elements from kit around your tube and temp layers and d/shadow to your liking.
