Iron Chef: Scenery - Shonuff

[Shonuff]

Okay folks, my time for my own step by step. This is for the first ever Iron Chef: Scenery for Librarium Online and it's readers. A step by step log will follow so anyone can make similar scenery.

okay Step one. I got the size of the board needed.. simple enough.



What?!?! A Soda can?!?! Man That -t must have it in for me..




So I started scrounging around the house, for bits and what-not, because this is supposed to be about making scenery for the everyman, not the bit collector or the man with a limitless budget...ah-ha! I found this styrofoam packing piece from a box something I bought months ago..




Look at that shape..so industrial...so Imperial.....mmmm goodness.




You know those cubes of soda? the one with two stories in the pack? there is cardboard in between the layers. Perfect scenery material. Time to cover the steyrofoam.




Now simple solid panels would look OKAY.....but we don't want okay..we want industrial. And being inside one of those type of plants myself...I know things break down. And when they do, they pull off a panel and start hacking at the machinery behind it..
Lets cut up the big solid panels into smaller angled ones.




...nice.


All the way around, Sho. All the way around.


Lets test the base and the piece...




Reviler chapter brother Marine Shonufficus poses and models for size...



Now....Industrial LOVES skid plate...it Loves that metal grating....the diamond cut out screen-type floor grateing. Man, where can I get some of that....hmmmmm



Not to worry...i'll just blame the dogs!

Cut a piece of the "found" screen...


To size...



Shonufficus approves.


Something about this Steyrofoam piece. There is a cool angled cut out of the one side. would be perfect little cut out for some piping..lets grab some straws!!



Glue some more screen down on the entire base, because, well, it's industrial..greasy grimy industrial. The straws are on the other side, drying...now to glue down the steyrofoam piece down on the fence/grate flooring..

[Shonuff]

OKay...
Soda can, eh -t? okay well i can't have the top SHOWING a coda can. Time to cover the top of the can..

Glue that down. Perfect.


Now, we'll need a nice safety rail for the industrial Imperial machinists...
ah-ha! simple sprue chunks! Everyone has sprues laying around. if you play 40k you have sprues..if you don't have sprues, you can use strips of foamcore board. I'm going to use the sprues..because ..well I have them.



Self explained..



OK. I decorated the panels with rivets, because rivets is industrial. Looks good. Lets glue those sprue rails down as well as the soda can down in place. (notice the foamcore inthe top as well.)




I think the workers i nthe industrial place would want to keep tabs on the 'can' and make sure all valves and thinks are functioning. Which means, they'll need awalkway around it.. I used a <gasp> peanut butter lid to circle stencil.





OKay simple home pieces....need some tubing...ah-ha! Pens..cheap old pens.


They make excellent support poles....



Found some more straws...bendy straws! time to make some piping outside.

And you're almost finished...

Oh dear. This is looking just wonderful. Might I ask though, what did you use for the rivets? It is perplexing me.
