Step 10

The vents are probably going to be too deep, so you'll need to cut down the back ring so it's only 1/4" deep. Use your cutting tool to cut off this ring like shown above.

Step 11

Glue one of the trimmed-down vents on the back-right angled wall with superglue. Cut two lengths of plasticard 4-mm pipes to serve as hulk plumbing. You'll have to angle your cuts on both sides so each will press flat against the door frame while not extending past the border of the floor either. Glue these tubes in place under the vent. Add the handle bit from the Dwarf Bolt Thrower in the Warhammer range (file off the Dwarf icon, of course) as a plumbing valve to finish this wall's details.

Step 12

Just like the last step, attach two parallel plasticard pipes. This time, place them vertically just next to the doorway you glued down before. Attach another handle from the Dwarf Bolt Thrower. One last bit of plumbing: add a pipe over the doorways to cover the overhang cut.

Now for the engineering panel. Cut out a 5 cm x 4 cm section from a 1-cm grid sheet of plasticard to serve as the backdrop. For the metal bitz, just attach them in a pattern that looks mechanical – we grabbed bitz from the Dwarf Flame Cannon and Bolt Thrower (minus any Dwarf imagery that we filed off). To fill in the empty area at the bottom of the panel, cut out a small square of V-grooved plasticard to look like a ventilation grate. Once all this dries, glue the entire engineering panel to the wall.

Make the door controls from thin plasticard and place them in the slots in the doorways you glued down before. Cut out two thin plasticard triangles, glue them to a square of thin plasticard, and glue the square to the door from the backside so the triangles fit in the slot.

Step 13

You'll need some structure to lift the deck grating off the floor to clear the doorways and look more like an actual Hulk. We found the perfect thing: the covers you put over fluorescent light panels. Find the one that looks like the picture above (the one we got was called "white egg crate"). It should measure about 1/4" in depth.

Step 14

Lay your crochet template over the lighting grid so the grid will provide the most support and mark off this area. Cut out this section from the lighting grid with sprue clippers - be careful, this stuff can go flying. Place the lighting grid on your room floor and see where you have to trim it to get it to fit and cut it down to fit between all the doorways.

Step 15

Once you're satisfied with the lighting grid fit, glue it down to the floor with super glue. If your gutter drain has a slight bend to it, you can use the grid to correct for this by applying weight to it while it dries (you'll need at least 18 lbs.). You'll need a lot of glue to get the grid to force the vinyl flat.

There you have it, a space hulk compartment ready for paint. Don't glue down the crochet grid just yet - you'll have a much easier time painting without it in place. Just make sure it lines up right for now.
