We have a new baby on the way, and as such purchased a fancy new crib...which came in a really big box. My little guy has been using various pieces of cardboard for a Star Destroyer, and I had a thought...I have this massive amount of cardboard destined for the curb...why not make a Star Destroyer from all that for my son?
Now, don't measure the proportions, but I figured the basic shape I roughed out was recognizable enough...
I used heavy cardboard for the main shape and structure, then thinner cardboard for the greeblie detail, and then cereal box cardboard for a few spots. Lots of carpenter glue, duct, and masking tape were also used.
Star Wars Vs. Star Trek!
Figure hatch!
Its about 33" long, and I sliced two sections open on the top for my little guy to stuff Star Wars figures into it. He seems pretty happy with it:
I spent a few bucks on white spray paint and foam balls for the shield generators (which I'll have to fix, since the partially disintegrated from the paint). Otherwise, I made it from stuff from the recycle bin...I can thank Atlanthia for the inspiration!
