TUTORIAL: INFINITY DIY CONSOLE

You may consider this short tutorial to be an extension of “Tutorial: Infinity ‘Do It Yourself’ Gaming Terrain” article, in which I tried to inspire you to begin a hunt for some awesome day by day items. Pieces of what might be considered garbage, that usually end up trashed – while they are a source of unlimited potential, when it comes to terrain making. I wonder how it’s been for some of you – have you found some great ‘trash’? Made any awesome terrain pieces? I myself am working on my Gaming Terrain once more, (see: “The Colony: Special Project” article) and inspiration tend to tease me at every step. For example – yesterday I was taking a shower when I saw this piece of art:



Isn’t that a wonderfull thing? It just screams ‘I am a terrain piece – release me from this earthly form!’ Cosmetics plugs are a constant source of ideas for me – but this one just blown my mind!

I USED:

Cosmetics plug,
Modelling Knife,
Super Glue,
Piece of Plasticard,
Plastik round base,




Instead of usual step-by-step I will just give you a hint of how this one was done. First of all I separated the plug from the rest of the bottle. Removed the upper part, then started to cut some small pieces of plasticard. Once I had enought pieces I used glue to compose a small town that fitted ‘inside the dome’. I used plasticard to make four legs for this ‘futuristic console’, put them together and mounted whole thing on the base. After that I just sprayed whole thing with white and made some smudges with a sandy colour. In the end I mounted the dome back on top of the plug – that’s it

Here are some pictures:











So, now I have a set of Consoles to fit into an Objective Room – hope to bring more pieces like this to life in near fiture

Thats an awesome idea, hopefully you didn't buy 7 bottles of shampoo or whatever that is.

Nice. Simple yet effective. I shall have to look in my bathroom now

Thanks guys Glad you like it.

I made magenda piece, then ordered six bottles to fasten the process of obtaining full set to game with - these are so cheap tho - less than 2$ per bottle (atleast from where I came from). So me and my GF will use Fa shower gells for next few months
