The base is a 2 outlet gang box. I cut several of the outside details off with a razor saw then attached some of the Administratum building parts. I also added some bitz from the hardware store as well as a few odds n' ends pieces from my bitz box.





Then I decided it looked cool but it needed to glow since it was a generator. So I hacked up a flicker LED candle to stick inside but when I looked down into the side vents I could see the exposed LED. So I created a little burning furnace center. It is made from a bottle lid, some piece I scavenged out of a printer and crushed red plastic aquarium "jewels" aka little blobs of plastic. So now it lights up orange and flickers. You can see it looking down the side vent tubes best. I joking said it was a Prometheum furnace, then someone reminded me that Prometheum is a liquid so if you compress a liquid enough it becomes a solid right? Or I am just making this up as I go along, hehe.





Next came some paint. I decided to go with a blue/gray scheme with copper accents.






Finally came the base, which is a piece of MDF I carved the bricks in with a wood carving tool. I also added the LED's in the sides, there is a small hatch on the bottom so you can change batteries and a switch.





Full power Mr. Scott!



Now it just needs the pipe coupling glued onto where the pipe meets the ground, some debris, some weathering and rust and then some sealer and it's done. Whew takes a while.

I will put up some finished pics when it is complete.

My only beef is with the Imperial appearance. If it's a simple generator you're making, it's best to keep it industrial-looking, without any of the big wings and aquilas.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239332/705558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239332/705558.page GMT fw of his things a while back, just havent gotten round to painting them.

I still have slots open for all the classes, the sci-fi one covers things similar to this generator and using LED's
