13 April 2006: I made the headlamp
reflectors by press-forming the can metal and glued them behind the
front
panel. I filled the reflectors with a clear droplet glue for the lens
effect.
15 April 2006: Now the bare
truck is almost finished.
I made the rear
reflectors the same way, filled the insides with clear droplet glue and
then painted with clear red.
17 April 2006: Now for the superstructure... I thought of
a scenario that a "portable stage" was carried by the truck. It opened
up for the concerts to host the playing band. I figured out the
dimensions
and then cut the can as in the photo.
I made
the inside platform of one opening wing.
18 April 2006: I manufactured
the main stage floor and the side panels.
I fixed the opening
stage and the main body by epoxy glue.
19 April 2006: I glued in the
top opening panel too, and manufactured the hydraulic cylinders that
opened
and closed the panels...
I made a sticker
naming the fest in 2006.
20 April 2006: I made three
figures of the band from beer can aluminum. It occured to me that these
2-D shadow figures were a good way to depict a band, instead of
introducing
normal figures used in modeling.
21 April 2006: The drummer had
the biggest share of attention with his instruments... They are all
made
from beer can aluminum.
I made standing
feet for the drums, and a pedal bent from a headed pin.
The drummer is
ready, waiting for the instruments to be glued...
Now he can play!
The full band
took place on the stage permanently with epoxy glue.
22 April 2006: I made the loudspeaker
units from beer cans too, and glued them on stage, which put the end to
the manufacturing of this unique model...
