Day 1


Barricade: Ok, just stand on the ruler so I can cut a straight line
Glow-in-the-dark Ghoul: Are you sure I weigh enough for this?


GG: Gotta color the back of certain pieces black, since it won't be covered by anything...
B: Ummm, how are you gonna get the marker lid off? Your arms are attached to your body...


B: Gluing the pieces together. Woohoo!


GG: Ok, I'll push this side, you push that side, and we'll wait for the glue to dry.
B: I hope you remembered to get quick drying glue...
GG: Ummmm.... yeah.... about that....
B: Shit, you mean we've got to hold this together for hours until it dries?


B: As punishment, you've got to cut and glue all the windows, while I cut out the openings.
GG: How bad can that be?


GG: Fuck.


GG: This is gonna take forever!!!


GG: 2 down, 6 to go... :(


B: Umm. Are you sure you're doing this right? These instructions look different from our piece...
GG: Will you quit screwing around and get back here to help????


So, 1 day in, and I haven't hit any major problems yet! If you look closely at the photo of Barricade cutting the windows, you'll see that I'm trying to keep the cross-beams intact, to add a bit to the 3D feel of the building. I couldn't do this on the other versions, as the paper was too thin to support that small of a cut. It seems to be working pretty well, as long as I pay close attention while I cut...

Hopefully I'll have more progress for you all in the near future!
