So the rules state it’s a large blast marker, moving around destroying stuff it hits.I looked around and found some nice strong cardboard that was black to booth.

Used the large blast marker to draw 2 circle’s and cut these out with good scissors! (Then marked the centre points, as I forgot about that little detail…)

I also needed a strong centre core, for which I used a cardboard centre from a roll of aluminium. Some rocks to weigh it all done, because this thing was going to be tall.

I glued the roll into the centre with some hot glue, making a view vertical lines for stability.

Letting the rocks fall to the bottom dripping super glue on top of that. And then putting in a hand full of sand for extra weight between the gaps of the rocks and some tinned down PVA to glue keep it in place. ( A joke of a professor, a hugh glass jar,tennis balls, marbles, sand and 2 beers jumps to mind)

After that I cut 5  metal 1.1 mm wires to 15 inch and a bit as I would be turning them around the core. Would have been better to cut them before I hot glued the core as I had to drill hole into the hot glue now and rewarm the hot glue gun( But kids…. and time)
