As part of the scene this year, we will have a mini Up house (located at the peak of our roof). In order to have it be lightweight, I decided to created it out of Styrofoam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start, I gathered schematics of the Up house (thanks, internet!) and reference photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then I cut pieces of Styrofoam to size and glued them together with Great Stuff (a really great adhesive for Styrofoam!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued to work through the design, adding walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As the porch of the Up house is a place where many of the scenes from the movie happen, I wanted to add some details to that area. I cut some lattice and railing details out of foam core (yay Dollar Tree foam core!) to add to the porch area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I added those pieces to the rest of the model and added a roof. Ready for painting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grace took the lead on painting the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandra, Atticus and Micah, painted the Styrofoam balloons which will be added later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In inserted balloon sticks into the Styrofoam balloons and arranged them like a bouquet, to be inserted in the chimney when I mounted the house to our roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I added an internal structure to be able to clamp the house on to our roof\/eves and painted a few last details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I mounted the house up on the peak of our roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
