In order to build the Comm Bunker, you'll need to gather the list of materials found in the table on the right. Some things you can do without, like all the Rhino bitz; just try and improvise with whatever you have available.

One key element for this project is the all-important radar dish. Making one from scratch is certainly a possibility, but I'd rather just take a trip to the local Toys 'R' Us and root around the aisles. So I did! The dish you'll see here is actually an accessory from an action figure (some movie about something that binds the galaxy together...) that was heavily discounted. If you look around and peer into enough boxes, you'll come upon on something that'll work out just fine.

Alternately, you could just piece together some interesting bitz you may have lying around to form a semblance of a piece of communication hardware. Get creative and see what you come up with.

First thing you're going to want to do is download and print out the PDF templates I made for all you wonderful people. Make sure that you print these out at 100% with no scaling. I know this seems like common sense, but sometimes printers will do silly things. So just double check your settings before you hit the print key. If you don't check this setting out, then the dimensions of your project will be all screwy and life will seem so very unfair. The base of a bunker wall should be 5" wide as a point of reference.

These templates are a lifesaver and eliminate the need for you to painstakingly measure each and every piece of the bunker (like I had to!). The downloads are pretty self explanatory – just cut out the appropriate material for each marked template. Once you have all your materials and templates ready, get started by clicking the "1" below.
