Here the Red lines show you how the TOP piece 45 degree angle matches the side pieces edges.

July 14, 2008

No Hot Glue the other side piece to the TOP piece.

July 14, 2008

You now have an object that looks like this.

July 14, 2008

Now cut another rectangle 3cm X 2cm.

July 14, 2008

Slice the ends off at a 45 degree angle.

July 14, 2008

The sliced angled tips now are FLUSH with the side pieces.

The red diagram shows you a profile of the piece you just added. The blue lines show you the correct angles that are a little hard to see in the photo.

Now for a back piece.

Cut out a 3.5cm X 2cm rectangle.

July 14, 2008

This should fit nicely into the barck of the object.

DO NOT PRESS all the way OUT. You want to stop just as it gets FLUSH with the lower angles of the side pieces.

July 14, 2008

Your object will now fit nicely against the curved cardboard.

Now repeat and make 3 more.

July 14, 2008

The objects should be attached with Hot Glue at 12 - 3 - 6 and 9 o'clock like if you were looking at a watch.

Now for some tiny detailing.

I started by cutting a long rectangle xxcm wide by 10 or so cm. I then cut that into small little xxcm pieces.

July 14, 2008

Then I took each small tiny piece and slice it in half sideways at an angle from one end to the opposite end.

July 14, 2008

This gave me a ton of little triangle like shapes.

July 14, 2008

Attach each triangle to the Top and Bottom rings of your exhaust pipe.

If we use the watch analogy again, then start with the 12 - 3 - 6 and 9 positions, then place another 4 centered to those.

July 14, 2008

No the exhaust needs a base, so I took this Toilet Paper tube...
