Dr. Octopus

I just finished this Marvel Dr. Octopus nook for one of our nephews. I made his brother a Sauron nook last year. I ordered the articulating figure through Amazon. Starting with the basic book box from Hobby Lobby, I covered it with stone blocks made from egg cartons. The inside I covered with Doc Oc/Spiderman comic covers. The flashing red, blue, and white lights are mounted an inch apart vertically up the inside back wall. A 3V coin battery pack is attached to the floor, and the pushbutton switch protrudes though the floor at the front for easy access.

Posing for ideas

Adding the "stone"

With the vinyl spackle "grout"

Final placement with a little "smoke" added for effect 

Interior smoke and lights

You can just make out the broken glass shards around the window rim
