MUZ1 1 Posted April 18, 2018 Hi all. Quick question for those with a creative mindset. I have this takeaway container that I'm wanting to turn into a building. Never done anything like that before so asking for ideas on what to do with it? Fire away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasnighta 26,833 Posted April 18, 2018 Take a cardboard/plastic circle to cover the roof part. Removing things like writing is always the first step. Reallybthen, it’s all about just adding some widgets to make it look part of it. A door frame out of card/plastic is the next step. then a solid prime and paint is all you need! 2 1 Big Easy, MUZ1 and nashjaee reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gorthaur25 130 Posted April 18, 2018 The texture on it is pretty cool. Think about what that might be. Reinforced fiber glass? Steel cables that wrap it? Maybe it is an inflatable dome. That will help with choosing paint colors and any extra doodads you may add. 1 MUZ1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albertese 159 Posted April 18, 2018 May I ask what restaurant you got that from? I have some ideas and I'd love to get one of those myself. My ideas mostly involve gluing a judicious selection of model tank and battleship parts here and there and painting it up as some kind of temporary structure, like a Star Wars industrial kinda tent/yurt. 1 MUZ1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Force Majeure 4,108 Posted April 18, 2018 Add some some pipes, antennas or tubing using some spare electrical wire or straws. Maybe if you can either find a shoe-box or similar that you can glue this to the top, it can be the dome to a building. And of course, add something to top it off and cover the writing. 1 MUZ1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea sorry mate. Have had it in the cupboard for ages and figured the shape was pretty awesome for legion terrain piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, you're calling me "mate" which makes me suspect you're not in the USA. In which case I wouldn't likely have access to whatever restaurant it was anyhow. Thanks anyway! 1 MUZ1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
