Now take the door walls and Hot Glue them to the door itself.

One more detail to create before assembling our walls...

... an engine pod. At least thats what I think it is, I don't really know what it's called.

I started by finding plastic napkin holders at the dollor store.

I traced out the shape on a piece of foamcore with a pencil.

July 14, 2008

Cut out the circle you just traced...

July 14, 2008

... and Hot Glue it to one of the plastic napkin holders.

July 14, 2008

Then Hot glue the other napkin holder to the other side of the foamcore circle.

You now have a Yo-Yo LOL

Take a white strip of paper about 2 or 3 inches wide. It's not really imortant.

July 14, 2008

You just want to tape it at one end and then wrap it all the way around the Yo-Yo thingee.

July 14, 2008

What you want is to hide the groove in the center . That is the purpose of this cardboard paper.

Now cut a little rectangle out of foamcore. 4cm X 2cm.

From the TOP end measure 1.5cm... the yellow line.

Then measure 1cm from the TOP and BOTTOM CORNERS and draw a line from those marks to the tip of the yellow line.

July 14, 2008

You will now have a shape that looks like this.

Trace this piece on some foamcore scraps...

July 14, 2008

... and cut out a total of 8 pieces.

July 14, 2008

Now take 2 pieces and the a 45 degre angle using your Xacto blade.

Cut on the LONG straight side and cut OPPOSITE angles for both pieces. See Step 149 to better understand.

You now need to cut a small rectangle just 2cm X 1cm and slice off 45 degrees on the TOP.

July 14, 2008

You now have 3 pieces. the TOP tiny piece and Left and Right angled side pieces. See how the yellow lines explain what I mean by cutting each side the opposite angle.

July 14, 2008

Take your Hot Glue and attach the small TOP piece to one of the side pieces.

See how the TOP piece angle fits FLUSH with the side pieces edge.
