![]() So We set up a little painting area on my balcony. Picture 5 The boxes parts need to be painted - spray paint is way easier and faster and I believe in this amount cheaper then using acrylics and brushes. Picture 2-4 foam sheet construction to slide in the extra sword blades. Picture 1 Use a ruler to mark and carve in the straight lines that will be bend to form a box! Example: 10cm-25cm-10cm-25cm The screw in the middle of it will help fixing the steam engines part to it - use your hot glue here! Step 4: Engine Work IIįor the boxes you will need 2 big sheets of styrofoam/kappa board (70x100cm around 5mm thick) Picture 7 Tthe small platform of the engines steamer is positioned at your lower back and it's supposed to be hanging a bit diagonal. Form it like in the next step, so that the small pieces are pointing to your wastes' sides and the big plane is slightly tilted. This piece is light PVC and can be easily cut and deformed after you put some heat on it(hair blower or heat gun). I did have some at some, but you can get them at a hardware store! Picture 6 The centerpiece and platform of the engine. I drilled in some wholes to put in those T-shapes plastic pipes. We got ourselves some plastic pipes to transport your blueprint with and cut them! One half of a plastic ball with the same diameter glued on top gives you a good shape. When everthing is dry you can start paining :D Picture 5 To create the bottle tanks, we were lucking in one of the office supplies stores (also check out artists and architectural stores). A hair blower can help with the time issue or you can simply make a break or something else. it will melt down your styrofoam immediately!! D: Cover your pieces with paste and tissue paper and let it set till it is completely dry and hard. NOTE: don't use hot glue, normal glue or spray paint on this now. Once you carved enough, use a little bit of sanding paper to get it more accurate. Styrofoam is your friend!! :D You can carve out all the shapes and details out of a block of this foam to get your mechanism pieces from side and back.
