![]() Even if you don’t think you can build something, keep trying. It’s definitely made me see I can overcome challenges with a little patience and time. Thanks so much for reading my Boxing Ring Tutorial. The camera flashes are paintbrush sparkles are from Ron’s Boken and Angel Dust from Daz3-D. Photos from the story ‘The Belt’ taken in this set. The rest are all on doll stands standing on stacked doll boxes that are hidden beneath the bottom of the black curtain. I set up dolls in the back stepped platform I made sittig down in chairs. I touch up and eliminate the wire out of photos later. The hanging microphone is just an earbud from my music earphones hanging from the light rig bar above.Īnd my girl with the “Round 1” sign has a thin wire used to make jewelry twisted around her neck and attached to the light rig ceiling pole to have her standing without a doll stand. I kept the lighting just above the boxing ring like in a real professional stadium. I bought cheap black sheets and used 2 flat sheets and safety pins to fasten them to the top bars of my light rig to make the background black. I usually start with the rise pieces one on top, one towards the bottom, just to secure it as a unit. With all the rise pieces wrapped, the pinning begins. Both will be covered with a pinned piece of board anyway so it doesn’t matter. This is much trickier than just a rectangle so you’ll have to pick either the rise or run to wrap the contact paper around. Then cut the edges away like this cross pattern to the right, and then pull the contact paper over the back of the board to seal it. I start off with putting the foam board piece on a sticky contact paper rectangle. Another way it to use black foam board, I just don’t like the two toned color on the edges, which is why I went the long route. I wrapped every rise-piece and run-piece in black contact paper. I then had to cut 4 rise pieces 1″ high, by the length of my staircase. Just warning you now, this is one of the more detail and labor intensive projects. I made 3 sets of these stairs which took about 4 hours. I used a 1″x 1″ rise/run measurement and created the outside stair walls. I needed small staircases going up to the corners of the rings. I found later these feet weren’t that necessary, they helped slightly to keep the poles in place. Once all four were wrapped, I made little square 1/2″ thick foam board feet for them, pushing them into the boarm board to make them stay in place once I push them through the ring floor. I drew around the base of each dowel, then cut four holes in the ring floor to fit each dowel. I wrapped them like you would the grip on a tennis racket, baseball bat or hockey stick diagonally up. Not wanting to do more painting, I chose to wrap the dowels in black electrical tape. I would cut holes in the top of my ring to push the dowels through them to provide something to tie my ropes to. I finally decided to use 4 square shaped dowels. The interior ropes is what took me months to figure out how to contruct. ![]() So I found a small can of red exterior house paint that wasn’t too glossy and painted them over the course of a couple days to make sure everything dried. The stools were a plain light brown wood. ![]() I needed to do a little painting for the outside poles, which I used wooden dowels and also the corner stools which came with a boxing kit I’ll show towards the end of this tutorial. ![]()
