Once the feet are dry, you can place them into the
Conference Room. Align them up with a Control panel.
Most of you can stop here if you wish. But wait...
NiubNiub wants to make a movie accurate Diorama :P
Can you guess the last step that's missing?

If you said Exhaust Grids and Lights you are Dean
On !!! :)
On the back of EACH Wall Unit, you will have to mark
a line at 1.5cm and another at 3cm. Then measure 2cm
to find the center of the Wall Unit. Then divide each
side into 3 equal sections and mark 2 circles above
the 2nd lines of each side.

Start by making a SLIT into the foamcore with a V
Xacto PEN. Make sure that you TAKE YOUR TIME. These
cuts must be clean and precise.
|
|
 |
|
|
October 31, 2004
For each circle, you want to start with a Horizontal
Slit into the Foamcore.
|
|
 |
|
|
October 31, 2004
Then pull out the Xacto Pen and do a Verticle Slit.
What you want to do is create a + shape .
|
|

Can you see the + shape inside the pencil mark? this
is what we want to help us make a clean hole for our
Miniature Christmas Lights.
|
|
 |
|
|
October 31, 2004
Start with a small object, like a Fine Paintbrush.
Poke it into the + shape. Now press down AND TURN
back and forth at the same time.
If you PRESS DOWN TOO FAST you rish making a HUGE
RIP and even worse, breaking the Wall Unit Front Top
section.
|
|
 |
|
|
October 31, 2004
Now you can take a pencil and make a WIDER hole.
Remember to TURN the pencil back and forth as you
press it into the hole.
|
|
 |
|
|
October 31, 2004
Now we should have 2 holes and 5 Slits. The holes
are for lights, but why the Slits you ask? Ahh...the
accuracy is in the details :)

Now cut out 5 identical pieces from the same Cardboard
your Chair backs were made from. You don't want too
thick a vent panel.
Measure out 1.5cm X 2cm.
|
|
 |
|
October 31, 2004
Now paint these a light grey color. If you can find
a Grey cardboard at the store even better. I am painting
these for the prototype to show you what they are
for, but when I create the 100 pieces, i will go to
the store to get my grey Cardboard and save a step.
If you enjoy painting...be my guest :D

Now take one of the rectangles and gently insert
it into the first slit. If you start at an agle, it
goes in easier.
|
|
 |
|
October 31, 2004
Press it SLOWLY inside until it hits the edge of
the Wall Unit's Top Panel Section.
|
|
 |
|
October 31, 2004
Here is the view from the FRONT. The GREEN arrow
points to the vent piece that is inserted and the
BLUE arrows point to the slits where the other 4 vents
will poke through when inserted into place.
|
|
 |
|
October 31, 2004
Repeat the same steps until all 5 Vent rectangles
are in place. This should take about 2 hours. LOL
, Ok, I'm joking with you :) Maybe about 3 minutes
:D
