THE FACTORY IN SLIDESHOWS

The Factory began it's life as a Fisher Price toy, and ended as a WARMACHINE building.

Working on the Factory.

Inside the Factory

Finishing The Factory.

THE FACTORY ... POST #3

On the one side, I added some details. I added another lamp in the same manner using a pin. Then I took a toy crane and added it to the top corner. This crane would be used to load and unload cargo on to a steam engine, assuming that the building would be located right next to a railway line. I added the gears for the crane to the side of the building. These were plastic gears I salvaged from a broken DVD player. Then I glued a 28mm door into place. This is a service entrance to the crane's machine room.

Next time I will explain about the opposite side of the building.

THE FACTORY ... POST #2

Here's what I did.

I had to tear out the handle on top. This was a little annoying because it's made of thick plasic. Use a sharp utility knife. Be careful not to cut yourself.

Then I removed all the decorative cardboard stuff. All of this is mainly on the inside.

I also tore out the goofy coffee table thing that is white and blue. It came out fairly easily after unscrewing the anchors, cutting it loose, and smashing it with a hammer. No kidding.

I then spray painted the entire thing black.

I took a section of 40K Cities of Death building and glued it into the gap. I used the section that had two doors.

I used a sharp hobby knife to cut around the doors so that I could position them to appear open.

I ran a small bead of super glue along the hinges of the door to make sure it remained strong.

I also took one of the 40K Cities of Death lamps and drilled it out with a pin vise. I took a standard needle push pin and snipped the head off of it. Then I drilled into the building right next to the double doors. Using the pin, I affixed the lamp into place and added some super glue to hold it permanently.

Next time we'll take a look at the side entrance area.

THE FACTORY ...

I often shop at Goodwill.
I find all kinds of stuff that I stow away to make terrain with in the future. Believe me, if you saw our second bedroom you'd see all the boxes full of junk.

Anyway, I bought this Fisher Price Main Street toy at Goodwill for .99 and decided to make it into a WARMACHINE building.

Care to see how I did it?


Stay tuned.
