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
