The Junkube.

This started as an experiment in making a regular shape with irregular parts: A cube from junk pieces.

I used a number of random pieces from my junk collection. Mostly hot-guled together, filled small gaps with grit, created the base and blended it in with PVA/tissue, and added electric arcs with a 3D printing pen.

It then became a terrain piece.

Space Marine for scale.

The Junkube returns.

Straight-on views of the upper faces.

I see the top of a syringe plunger,
the on/off indicator of a shower switch,
part of a razor blade,
a metal strip from inside a battery compartment,
the lid of a pencil lead case,
some cogs,
and an air-freshner strength adjuster piece.

Junkube strikes again...

Under the cube, the base started as a cardboard stand.
To that I added tissue/PVA to stick it all together and start forming the shape.
Plus added the "loose" junk pieces.

The electric arcs were added with a 3D printing pen.
Attachment points and the tips of the base were strenghthened with epoxy putty.
That was all covered with more tissue/PVA to tie it together.

And then I added my basing mix and it was ready for paint.

The last of the Junkube.

For painting, I picked out certain items with strong colours to emphasise the collection of random pieces of junk.

Many of the metal parts are fairly clean, maybe something to do with how this thing works/operates, but there is some light weathering.

The arcs are painted in electric blue with some suble OSL.
