Description I'm really quite proud of this model - it took me so long to complete, since it was the second attempt, the prototype failed dismally

It's a 5" Weighted Companion Cube that I made with a twist, but you have to check out the next photo [link]

Here is a link to the pattern if you're interested:

The were fun! I built them ages ago, but the turret's legs are tricky - you need to super glue them into place because they are so spindly.

Catbread-Rainbows In reply to Skele-kitty [2011-04-22 21:10:33 +0000 UTC]

AH! the turret legs, i cant do them right, any tips????

Skele-kitty In reply to Catbread-Rainbows [2011-04-23 01:16:16 +0000 UTC]

to be honest, not really! I made one turret, and it didn't support it's own weight ... or do you mean to fold them together?

To build the legs, I used a big paperclip that I had unfolded and inserted into the form to give me the required pressure to close the leg, does that make sense?

If all else fails, go to Billybob's page - he always includes some sort of tutorial/instructional page with his models.
Here: [link] there is a link to the PDO.

Um ... I just tried to download it myself and had no problems. I think it might be your proxy settings. If you read the comments on this page, in the fifth comment, I supplied a guide as to how to overcome these issues - give that a go, and if you have any more issues, ping me and I'll send it to you directly.

No worries. Good luck with the WCC - she's a beauty!

Just one more thing, read all the comments above regarding the pink strip, because it has been a pain in the rear for most people.

Really amazing. the best cube model i've seen yet. I'm really excited to reunite with my companion cube hahaha. But I dont know what I'm supposed to do with the tiny pink pieces. Do they go on top of the seam or between the 4 large segments?

Skele-kitty In reply to caljar [2010-11-22 03:09:10 +0000 UTC]

LOL! No-one knows what to do with the pink strips, hahaha!! They are the topic of on-going conversation all over the world. If you read the comments from this submission: [link] you will see that there really isn't any good solution to the problem, but we do discuss it at some length.

Good luck

Uzaru In reply to ??? [2010-08-14 19:32:39 +0000 UTC]

I wanna make one, but I dunno how to put the corner thingys on the corners , like you did, would you kindly tell me how to do that?

Skele-kitty In reply to Uzaru [2010-08-14 22:58:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I have to make another for one of my uni lecturers, hopefully I'll get a credit for it, lol!
What you do is make the corners individually, and then attach them to the corners of the cube.
Good luck.

Uzaru In reply to Skele-kitty [2010-08-15 10:16:45 +0000 UTC]

like, how did you attached the corners? glued it on? or in another way?

Skele-kitty In reply to Uzaru [2010-08-15 23:09:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's pretty much it, but the key is REALLY good glue. That stick glue stuff won't cut it.

Hi!!
Thank you so much for this great companion cube! Yours looks perfect *0*!
I've tried your template and I just have a few questions!
I don't know how to glue the little pink bars ;__; Everything else I figured it out but besides that..! I would really appreciate some help!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Skele-kitty In reply to 4nGeLpsych0 [2009-09-02 22:54:49 +0000 UTC]

LOL! Those little pink bars are the bane of my life, hahaha! I never figured those ones out either, so I bought some pink lucky-star strips, trimmed about 2mm from the edge of the square part where the pink bars should go, and glued the pink strips behind the face of the box. Does that make sense?

Alternatively, I am in the process of re-building my box/cube because it kind of got squashed in a move, so I'll have another look at those pink bars and see if I can figure them out, if you are prepared to wait a little bit.

4nGeLpsych0 In reply to Skele-kitty [2009-09-02 23:08:04 +0000 UTC]

No wonder it was a different color than the template!! haha thanks for replying I had been spending the whole day just to figure out it worked..XD But you came out with a brilliant solution! i'll probably use that!

If you're building a new one I don't mind waiting I check your page often I dont think I'll miss it!

Thanks again!
