After such a busy week with work, I was able to get back to my commission piece. For both side walls, I’ve cut in 11 grills at half an inch thick. Once I cut through the foam, I then scored around each rectangle with a thicker blade, pressed in the top length of each rectangle, punching them in at angle.

Cut out two frames to go around each side wall. Both pieces were fitted into the front wall.

The roof was cut along with two foam circles before being fitted together and sculpted into shape.

Looks good to me. Off to share.

Today’s work started with gluing all the external pieces together, sanding them down before attaching each section of the walls together.  After each wall had all their parts stuck and formed, I turned my attention to the door of the bunker.

Using a piece of 5mm foam board I cut a cross section and then glued that onto another piece of 5mm board, surrounded it with a boarder.  The using 2 pieces of 10mm board to create a runner for door, this was glued to the length of the back of the front wall.  The door can slide the full length of the wall.

Before finishing off the main wall, I turned my attention engraving the insides of the side walls.  Drawing inspiration from the 80’s G.I. Joe cartoon and the interiors used for Cobra’s hideouts/bases/lairs, using this type of style to carve in paneling into each wall along with an 80’s style tape recorder.

You can read more of my comments on the front page. Makes me remember some good times as a kid.

Work began making the final wall match the décor of the other two walls.  To start with I cut another piece of foam which would fit on the right side.  This stops the door from being able to slide across both sides.  With that piece in place I scored the same style of pattern across both untouched pieces of foam and across the pelmet that runs the length of the wall.

What is left to be done with the bunker is:
•   As detail to the floor.
•   The roof circles need the Cobra insignia applying to them.
•   Paint and fixing all pieces together.

Its your fault the Scooby Doo song was in my head yesterday morning. I was thinking about all the great cartoons, like JOE, I used to watch on Saturday Mornings while I was eating cereal that I only got for the awesome prize in the box. Off to share the latest. It is really looking great. The outside is awesome, but I really like the inside walls.

Ha ha ha!  I had to go school on Saturday mornings so I missed all of those cartoons :-(

I'm glad you're liking this Shawn and thanks for the Scooby Doo earworm lol!

Thanks Ron.

The final section of this build completed, floor panels have been etched into the foam all the remains is to sand the floor ready to be painted.  I have done a little work on the roof to which it now matches style of the bunker, I need to cast a couple of Cobra logo’s which will stuck on top of each of the circular vents.  This can be done after I have started to paint bunker.
