Last week I started a new MOTU commission build.
This piece is made from foam insulation board, the base, walls and the steps I have used 10 mm foam board.
After speaking with my client, 20"was too long to for into his deltof. I've taken 6" off the base and back wall.
The aim is to try and make this as close to the Filmnation version of the 80's, one of the things I have found difficult is trying to replicate the floor. After going on a MOTU DVD binge I settled on a floor pattern I saw of the turret floor with the Talon Fighter parked on it.
Stone slabs scored, time to start on the walls.
Brick work and windows cut and scored into the foam.
Drawing upon inspiration from the 80's MOTU cartoon for the walls, cutting a piece of 6mm foam to create alcoves for the long wall. With alcoves cut and sanded, the sheet is then glued using PVA glue on too of the first sheet. Once this is dry, I will start adding the detail.
I have framed the window to add some detail to this wall. Sanding down two strips of 10 mm boars, rounding them off to look like pillars reaching up the roof. Adding another strip for the length of the other wall like a pelmet and then adding the usual cracks to the stone wall.
A couple of little details to add before painting and then casting vintage MOTU weapons which will be hung on the walls.
Putting the foam board aside for a minute, my focus of today was casting some decorations before I started painting the interior.
Using Blustuff to make half moulds of a handful of vintage MOTU weapons and a head of 200x Slime Pit skeleton monster. I have created the wall decorations, the heads will be painted the same colour as the walls but weapons will be painted separately.
