Yeah, I have "borrowed" these from the old thread, but I hope to add to it, when the time is right.
Hell in a Cell
You will need the following:
- Approximately 15 steel or wooden dowels.
- Hardware cloth (chicken wire, only square).
- Soldering iron OR a hot glue gun.
- 19 guage wire.
- Silver spraypaint (only if you are using wooden dowels).
You can purchase the majority of these from your local hardware or hobby stores.
1) First, take the dowels and make them into a square shape |_| four times. Using the soldering iron, put them together into a cube shape so it is like a box. The actual size depends on the ring you are using. When measured out, there should be 4" between the side of the cell and the ring. Only put 3 of the sides together for now.
2) Get the hardware cloth, and sodder it onto each side. Cut off different pieces for each side. DON'T WRAP IT AROUND. Go ahead and put it on the 4th side as well.
3) Take some more dowels, and solder them on top of the caging so that the cage is between the frame and the supporting beams. Attach them so they make a -|-|-|- shape. the underline being the bottom of the cage, and the dashes and vertical lines behind the supporting beams. Do this for each side. DO NOT DO THIS FOR THE TOP!
4) Using the little hinges, solder them every 5" along the top of the 4th side. Being very careful, solder the other end of the hinge to the cage itelf. You are now able to move the cage side up and down (don't try to attempt until the metal is cooled and stable).
5) Now comes the top of the cage. Look at the sides of the cage, and measure out pieces of dowel that will connect the opposite ends of each dowel so that it appears to have a connecting pipe from one side to the other. When completed, the top should look like a giant Tic-Tac-Toe board (with one added line in each direction).
6) Now come the main supports on the top. Find the very center of the top of the cage, add put a 2" long piece of dowel vertically (sticking up). Measure from the middle of each side to the center stake. Cut pieces that long, and then solder them to the center stake and center of each pipe /|\.
7) To make the door (which is optional), find a point anywhere on the side of the cell, and cut it out. To get the correct height, measure out about 7 or 8 inches. Any figure will fit through now. Surround the sides of the piece with the dowels, and then surround the outside of the hole with dowels to. That makes the door, and the door frame. Using the hinges like before, affix the door. For added looks, you can add the chain that comes with the TTL 7 Undertaker or the TNA Abyss figure.
8.) To make the "trap door" (also optional) do exactly as the door, only put it on the top of the cell. It works best if put next to one of the supports, and the hinge is hidden from plain sight. Put a small piece of double-sided tape on the side opposite the hinges, and it will stay closed until needed.
