cage

Background

A mainstay of any well-equipped castle dungeon, the
Hanging Cage is a common prop for any studio creating
a gothic horror film. Traditionally, however, these
devices were used far more often outdoors where crim-
inals were placed on display at crossroads or city gates
until their eventual death from hunger.

This particular model was inspired by the old Aurora
plastic model “The Hanging Cage” No.637. Due to the
inevitable difficult questions which would arise, this
model is probably not suitable for young children.

Print out the last page of this document on a colour or
black and white printer on Letter size cardstock (8 1/2"
x 11"). A sharp knife (Xacto or scalpel preferred) is
required to cut out the parts. The thicker lines indicate
where the parts are to be cut. Parts should be scored
before cut out. Scoring can be done with a dull blade,
fine point pen, metal crochet hook, etc.

Depending upon the paper used to print the model, a
strong tacky glue is required to cement the pieces
together. If the printing stock is non-coated, most
wood and paper glues are sufficient. Once assembled,
the edges should be painted in a colour to match the
print.

The cage is attached to the brace using a piece of wire
cut and made into small links. Eyebolts made from wire
attach to the cage and to the top beam. The needle is
required to make small holes in the paper.

Assembly Instructions

Assemble M

aiin

n P

osstt ((A

A)).

Assemble FFo

ott S

Siid

e ((B

B)) and FFo

ott FFrro

ntt ((C

C)) pieces.

Attach FFo

ott pieces to the bottom of the M

aiin

n P

osstt as

indicated by the letters. Note that the FFo

ott FFrro

ntt piece

is a little longer than the S

Siid

e pieces.

Assemble FFo

ott B

Brra

ess ((D

D)). There are three of these and

unlike the S

Siid

e and FFrro

ntt FFo

ott pieces, these are all iden-

tical. Use a set square or other right-angle device to
ensure that the M

aiin

n P

osstt is straight up and cement the

FFo

ott B

Brra

ess into position. Start with the sides and end

with the front.

Use the needle to punch a
hole in the position indicat-
ed on the T

p B

m ((FF)). Cut

a short length of wire and
wrap around the shaft of the
screwdriver as shown in the
illustration 1. Note that since
the loop must be slid off the
screwdriver shaft, choose a
screwdriver which is a con-
sistent diameter along its
length.

Twist the wire around itself
twice and bend the remain-
ing parts of the wire
upwards (refer to illustra-
tions 2 and 3).

Push loop off shaft of screw-
driver. This creates the small
eyebolt to be inserted into
the hole in the T

p B

Push wire eyebolt through the
hole in the T

p B

m and

bend the ends of the wire
down, flat against the bottom
of the B

m part (refer to

illustrations 4 and 5).

Use a small piece of tape to
affix the wire to the back side
of the B

m part (refer to

illustration 6). The ring of the
eyebolt should be flush with
the bottom of the Top Beam
part.

Once eyebolt is in place,
assemble the T

right angle, ensure that the T

p B

m is square to the

aiin

osstt and cement the T

completes the frame assembly.

To begin the cage, cut out the FFllo

orr M

Miid

dlle

e ((11b

b)) part

and then score and cut the V

errttiic

all B

arrss ((K

K)). Note the

presence of the valley fold on the V

errttiic

all B

arrss which

requires scoring on the back of the part. Use the
V

errttiic

all B

arr T

plla

atte

e to bend each of the six bars into

the required shape.

Once all 6 B

arrss have been

shaped, cement the B

arrss

into place on the FFllo

orr

Miid

dlle

e ((2

b)) part using

the lines as a guide (refer
to Illustration 7). After all
6 B

arrss have been glued

into place, cement the
FFllo

orr T

p ((11a

a)) and FFllo

orr

otttto

m ((11c

c)) into place on

the top and bottom of
the M

Miid

dlle

e part, respectively.

The C

e T

p is assembled next. Before creating this

part, however, another eyebolt must be made following
the instructions given earlier. The eyebolt should be a
little shorter than the previous one: snip off the ends
and leave approx. 1 1/2 loops. Once this eyebolt is com-
plete, punch a hole in the C

e T

p ((2

c)) part. Push the

eyebolt through this hole.

Using the lines printed on the C

e T

p ((2

b)) part, glue

this part to the top of the V

errttiic

all B

arrss. Glue the C

p ((2

c)) part on top of this assembly and cement the

e T

p ((2

a)) part on the bottom. This closes the cage,

but the shape is added using the B

dss.

assembly easier, roll these parts around a large cylinder
such as a large felt marker barrel.

Using the letters marked on the V

errttiic

all B

arrss, cement

the B

dss into place beginning with the B

otttto

m B

and working towards the top. Once the T

p B

d is

glued into position, the cage is complete.

To attach the cage to the beam, fashion two small links
of wire. To do this, find a small diameter cylinder
(approx 2 - 3 mm) and wrap some of the wire around it
to form a coil. Push the coil off the cylinder and cut a
circular segment from the coil. Bend the ends of the
wire together so that they touch and use a pair of pliers
to flatten the circle into a chain link. Create two of

these links and con-
nect them together.
Attach one link to
the cage and one
link to the Top Beam
eyebolt.

Once the cage and
brace have been
assembled,

the

model is ready to be
painted. Paint the
exposed edges of
the paper on the
brace a dark brown
colour to match the
print.

Paint

the

inside and edges of
the cage in a grey
colour to match the
colour of the bars. If
desired, paint the wire chain in a silver or dark grey
colour.

The model is now complete and ready for display.
