Step 1: Model the CCTV and centerpiece

I could've just drawn the cameras, they're not that complicated, but instead I decided to just model it in SketchUp once so I could quickly make different angles of it. 

The SketchUp file below has two mirrored versions of the CCTV in the same space. Rotate both together to get a new angle and hide one at a time for each image you need of it.

With the resulting images, flip one of the images so that they can be attached back to back.

As for the centerpiece, I recreated that in Illustrator.

This is awesome as always fungus, your papercrafts always astound me!

Just a question- how did you convert the sketchup models to papercraft? Please tell me, i've been wanting to know for years!

Thanks, but it's not papercraft. These are all flat pieces. There must be some way of going from sketchup to papercraft though.

This is cool, I have been thinking of creating some kind of mobile with my laser engraver. Sweet!

Awesome amungus. Nothing like instilling fear of big brother at an early age.
