Dragon Ball Z Lamp
Hi everyone, I am from Costa Rica and this is my first instructable. I love Dragon Ball Z so I decided to make this lamp some time ago, now I decided to make an instructable and share it with you.
List of Initial Materials
• 1 Goku figure
• 1 circular bulb (genkidama)
• Electrical wire
• 1 bulb socket
• Some plastic jars (to create the scenario)
• Wood base for the lamp
• Modeling clay
Electrical Setup
I used an old desktop lamp, so I reused the internal parts and the support for the DBZ lamp.
- Insert the support of the old lamp into the wood base.
- Add the electrical wires.
- Add the bulb socket at the top of the support.
Modeling the Scenario
- Use the plastic jars to cover the wires and support the mountain.
- Use modeling clay to create the mountain textures. At this point, your imagination is your limit, so just add some irregular shapes around it and give it a form of DBZ mountain.
- Add some texture for the grass at the top of the mountain (I used crashed eggshell mixed with coffee and white glue).
- Leave the structure until it is dry at all.
- When it is completely dry is time for painting: add "sand" color with some shadows for the lamp base and the mountain. Use dark and light green for the grass.
Final Results
The final result is AWESOME!!! You have one of the best scenes of DBZ represented in a lamp.
