Cut the Styrene strips and glued them on to simulate the ribbed texture of the Winnie .Quite time consuming and I hope I have enough plastic to cover the other side (multi color due to the advertising plastic I obtained at my old job).  broken skull wallpaper

Heh, I grew up with orange shag carpet and dark wood panelling in my house.  Also, avocado appliances, a wall phone, and a pool table.

Tcoat
Would it possibly be easier to make a sink out of Milliput or something like that and paint it aluminum? Those compound curves in the corners would be fun to form in real aluminum.

Rather late to the party, but I'll pass this along.

On a similar project, I kept my eye out for clear blister packages and inserts of the sort used for ear buds, small hardware packs and similar geegaws. Took a while of looking...but I eventually found one the perfect shape, size and depth for the sink I needed.

Following from that...you could also fairly easy 'squash form' it from a carved balsa or scrap wood form.

Great work, Gene! Love your inventiveness. Your interior is coming along beautifully! YesBeerYes
