Cardboard Sci-Fi Action Playset for LEGO

Cardboard Sci-Fi Action Playset

We never have enough LEGO bricks to build the houses and structures we dream of.
So we do it with cardboard.

Time: Medium approx. 6 hours

Costs: Not measurable

Materials:

• Cardboard Stripes
• Paperprints in Color
• Acrylic Paint

Tools:

• Papercutter ( the next copyshop should have one )
• Colorprinter
• Cutting Knife
• Scissors
• Glue Gun
• Kitchen Sponge
• Brushes

How to do it:

Make a Google Picture Search with these keywords:

• sci-fi door decals
• sci-fi floor texture
• sci-fi wall texture
• sci-fi panel texture
• sci-fi monitor texture

Then

• Print the desired pictures
• Take the size of the floor picture and the door pictures for measuring the size of the cardboard baseplate and the height of the walls
• Cut the baseplate and stripes of cardboard for walls and interior
• If you want to have functioning doors an windows, cut them out of the wall stripes
• We did sliding doors
• Glue the walls to the baseplate
• Before we put the stickers on, we painted the whole thing.
• We mixed different blobs of grey, applied them with a sponge and smudged and blended them together
• Same with all the interior
• First build, then paint, finally attach the stickers
• We didn't glue the interior to the walls and bottom so that the playset is highly customizable
