How to make a district 9 Weapon

Step 10 The Reservoir

The reservoir is made in a very similar fashion to the power cell,
Make 4 card board sheets roughly 30mm wide and the same width as A4 is long. These will be used to wrap around the base former. My tube was constructed around a pot of curry spice found in the kitchen cupboard. Laminate these 4 layers of paper by gluing them all together. Then add another 2-3 layers over the top again. This time they should all form complete cylinders around the object. Once dry take the top cylinder off and carve the detail into it.

Make the end caps from pink foam in the same way as before but this time the bottom end cap should come to a point, this will give you something to secure it to the cascade tower with.

Take the extra noble you made for the cascade tower, you will use this to attach the reservoir to the cascade tower. Use hot glue to fix the reservior to the top noble, more paper mache is used to cover the join between the two. The extra detail is added using tobing held in with hot glue. Don't worry about being too neat with the hot glue, once dry you can paint this a silver colour to make it look like welding on the pipe.
