The Steampunk Cardboard Box....

In answer to that oft asked question "how do I "steampunk" my (insert choice of techno-crap here)".
I present the The Steampunk Cardboard Box...!
Select your piece of techno-crap and place the Steampunk Cardboard Box over it...
Hey presto...! It's steampunked...

First select your cardboard box. Then glue external strengthening around the edges...

Bake up some Femo 'rivets' then glue then around the external strengthening (I also added some Femo sconces at this stage....)

Spray, or paint, the box over with a dilute wood-glue solution then cover all over with a dry mortar mix. Repeat as necessary...

Spray, or paint, the box with matt black paint. Allow to dry. Apply a burnt sienna wash...
There you have it...
The Steampunk Cardboard Box...
