Using the Hot Glue Gun, I attached the box to the
back of the wall.
I then inserted the carboard panel on top of the
box. The rough edges from the inside of the foamcore
keep the panel in place.
No need to glue this piece which is good in case
I want to change the wiring one day ;) |

Both boxes now complete.
The ring on the main circular doorway has the same
effect, though I am keeping that as a last step since
I will need to glue the hallway to the main room in
order to do so. |

Finishing details for the ceiling is next.
I used up almost any cool shape that I could find
including nails, rubber stoppers and stereo cable. |

Ta-da. No need for inbetween pictures on how to glue
a wire to a beam :)
I looked at my reference pictures and tried to place
the wires as much as possible in the same manner as
in the movie. |

This is where I am so far. Slowly coming to life.
Once the hallway pillows are made and in place, I
can attach the large "pipes" that droop
along the walls as well as the bunkbed wall unit and
of course... the infamous chess table and seats.
I will start that next week. |

Now grab your finished "bunk bed" that
looks just like in the movie :)
Yes I know about the paint drip :( That's ok though
because there are 3 tubes that fit in the corner that
should hide most of it :) |
|

Place the box in the corner and glue into place.
You will remember I had tubes here in Photo #056
but after seeing the CD-ROM, I realised that this
bunkbed is what accurately fits in the corner. Also
*** SUPER IMPORTANT ***

When placing
the Chess Table and Island Bench, I realised the Bed was
TOO LOW, You will need to slice off the bottom BEFORE attaching
in place.
See
Picture #116 on Page 8 to understand. |

More details, Cut foamcore pieces and glue them together
to form the shape of steel beams. |
|

After painting, place the first beam at the top of
the bunkbed. this hides the joint and looks cool. |
|

The 3 remaining beams go at the bottom of the left
wall, just in front of the lower part of the tubes.
We are pretty much done on this wall now. |

NOOOO !!! This is not my breakfast - LOL.
After almost 7 hours, I finally finished and baked
all the 150 "pillows" I needed for the hallway
beams. |
|
 |
|
October 07, 2001
I placed all pillows on scrap strips of foamcore
to make it go faster with the Hot Air Gun instead
of holding 1 piece at a time. and burning my fingers
:) |

Time to paint...
|
|
 |
|
October 07, 2001
Here the main color is applied with a paintbrush.
Latex paint was used and dried in 5 minutes :) |
|
 |
|

I weathered the "pillows" to make them
nicer.
Using my sea sponge, I dabbed dark brown paint and
watered it down to give just a dirty grimy look like
in the film. |
