Collecting the Cardboard
(It took a lot!)
Putting the Grids together to assemble the shelf
Applying water-activated paper tape to reinforce loose joints
Covering the shelf in paper mashe to create a smooth surface
Painting the shelf with a base coat of silver paint so that the paper mashe does not show through the white paint
Painting the shelf in multiple layers of white paint
Completing the final layers of white paint
Sketching and painting R2D2's signature machine-like detail
Intersecting cardboard to form grids for the inside structure of the shelf
