The Simpsons: Homer's Pig Crap Silo

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.  ¶ 11:09 AM
