It's easy! I've got a day and a half left to make one of these..

Here's what I've got so far.

Foamboard squares assembled:

Inside the cube:

With mechanism culled from a Halloween toy seen here.

Some circles and squares added:

More to follow as I work on it, I've got a long way to go.
  1. Build and affix corner pieces (8)
  2. Glue down top face of cube
  3. Make more center brackets (4)
  4. Cover the whole thing in glue
  5. Paint

It would be like if the Queen woke you up every morning. Too special.

    Is it going to be lit up and everything?

    What are you making this for (i.e. why is there a timelimit on you)? Is it for some art design class or something?

    In theory it's for a Halloween party tomorrow night. However, I forgot about work in the morning, so it's likely I'm going to just go as an Aperture Scientist, sans Cube.

    I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS


    Well, I will be when you finish this masterful piece of work! <3



    EDIT: Makes my crappy papercraft cube seem all that much more lame.

    The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.
    In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.
