I decided to build a model of Homer's pig crap silo from The Simpson's Movie.
I found a tube that was exactly the right diameter to be in scale with the Simpsons action figures. After drawing the plate pattern, I started glueing on thin plastic to simulate the sheet metal.
After all the plates were glued on, I used puffy paint to add rivets.
I stacked MDF and sanded it to shaped on a "poor man's lathe" to make the dome.
After the dome was formed, I used it to (badly) vacuum form plastic over it.
The final model with Homer and Marge.
I hand painted Homer's "Pig Crap" message to the front...
...and his "Return" message on the back.
Only you would make a Pig Crap silo! :-) It's, as all your work, really beautiful (for a pig crap silo!)

Marge Simpson: [grimacing at the overflowing 'Pig Crap' silo] He filled up the whole silo in just two days?
ReplyDeleteHomer Simpson: [proudly] Well, I helped.
Great work !!!
