    Pretty nifty! Looks great top AND bottom! Paper towel tubes are so useful. If you want to make them really strong, roll up some cardboard and shove it inside. Then insert a few bamboo skewers. Paint the ends with elmer's glue and you are done. This works if you are building levels. That way it can really hold some weight if needed.

  • @adventuresincrafting2022

    @@adventuresincrafting2022 Yes those much stronger. Like the ones in aluminum foil rolls. Very tough. Forgot to mention, I really like how you rolled the foam around the tubes. Makes for great detail! The 3d printed I-beams are well done. A 3D printer does speed up the process. I just purchased a laser cutter. Going to use in to cut all my cardstock, mdf and hardboard. I can cut it by hand, but I'm use to designing signs and cutting vinyl. Been in the sign business just over 3 decades. A laser cutter will just speed up my process and make the parts more accurate. Plus it will give my fingers a break from the exacto knife. lol Another fine video. Keep up the good work.

    You might get granny grating to stick to superglue, if you roughen up the surface with sandpaper. Even if it's only the topmost layer, while avoiding the recesses, it might do the trick.

    Absolutely! Sketch out a shape you like for the wall panels and make a nlbasic template. Use that template to transfer the shape to cardboard, card stock, foam core, or whatever material you want to use. Then start cutting. You can add details like small circles from a paper whole punch or small beads to give it some texture. I hope that helps and thank you for watching!

    The corridors look good. These particular slanted walls read more Farscape or Andromeda to me than Star Trek. Although the "Enterprise" of the show with the same name had more deck grating than the more futuristic models of the original series and Next Generation. I like how all of your projects fall into a generic sci-fi setting. And I could see these corridors going well with your habitation pods to form a barracks.

    Oh yes. You aren't the first to say something like that. It was definitely a consideration. Ultimately, I chose the taller walls to match the esthetic of some of my other pieces. However, I would likely make shorter walls if I was making a ton of these. Would be easier for game play and save me some materials as well.

    I make my sci-fi tiles from cardboard. I use regular old amazon boxes cut into squares and then glue down cereal box/frozen pizza box cardboard with rubber cement. The trick is cutting the thinner cardboard with a sliding track paper cutter to make hard angled panels in futursitic shapes and glueing the panels closely together which gives you the detailed recesses. After you can rivet until your hearts content with a pin vise. Paint and its instant sci fi panel.
