Piano Work

When taking out the batteries I realized the whole bottom half could be removed.

So I unscrewed the remaining screws and took it all apart.

So now it looks a little better.  My plan is to use the piano for Chandell, played by Liberace.

The figure is now tall enough, but obviously the piano needs legs.

I suspect with a lot of work I can make two pianos out of this one.
 

Pianos

Pedals were adjusted so they reached almost to the ground.

I used this photo and plan from Wikipedia as my example.  Print the drawing and then reduce it down to the size you need then you can use it as a template for the cutting of the base.

Figures are soccer spectators from Subbetto.  Music helps improve the morale of the troops.

Five pianos, I will probably paint them white, brown, and three black.  Eventually.

I used a very, very thin sheet styrene for the body of the piano and wrapped it around the base.  I glued it with Goo, a rubber cement because it's gap filling.

Tiny bits used for the hinges.

I glued the model with Testors model glue and Goo.  The wax paper protects the working surface.

I put a bit of glue on the hinges first to soften them before applying them.

Flip the piano upside down for pedals and legs.  I made several different legs from tubing, square tubes and even sprue.

Making a grand piano out of styrene.

Mass production of legs and pedals.

I made a total of five pianos.

Piano benches.  Take a bit of a ladder and cut it up to make the legs, that way you don't have so many little bits and it's stronger.

I used a textured styrene sheet for the strings.
