Work in progress: Sci-fi domiciles.
I had these wheels of a toy Tonka truck I got at the op shop. I thought I might be able to turn them into some small buildings, like little drop-pod / pop-up domiciles.
I based the wheels on CD's, and glued lids from Pringles cans on top. There was a gab around the base so I wrapped a strip of paper around the bottom to bring them flush to the table.
I brushed on a texture mix of PVA glue, baking soda, and mashed up air-dry-clay to firm up the paper and cover the roughed-up plastic on the raised parts of the wheels.
Next I'm going to add some doors and windows, and little details around the sides. I want to leave the tops flat so they can stack on top of each other. Then I'll prime and paint them.
