The Egg of Time - Fabergépunk

Here we have, The Egg of Time, when you look into its time vortex you can see all that was, and all that will be, only one man has managed this and lived to reap its rewards, using his knowledge he created a time machine, and brought back many future weopens, to help defend his people, when the robots attack...

So here is my entry to the egg contest.

Also thursday ible for the 5 ibles in 5 days.

Hope you enjoy!

Step 1 Create a base.

Ok, here is how i created my actual egg shape.

Picture 1 - i drew out an egg shape, complete with 'hollowed out sections' onto some of my dense card

Picture 2 - I created a second full egg shape, and 4 half egg shapes

Picture 3 - The two full egg shapes had little slits to allow the two pieces to slot together.

Picture 4 - here im holding the pieces together to test how it looks.

Pictures 5 & 6 - I cut out a series of small triangles and used them to glue the whole shape together, by placing them to space the sections apart, The best glue to use is wood glue, as its great with card.

You should now have the basic shape

Congratulations on being a Finalist. I "studied" your design the other night; read your Instructable and forwarded it to my niece; I know she will be equally fascinated with your concept and creativity. My Best Wishes to you. Carole B.
