step 1 of 9

First I started with an oil tank shape. I made it editable and added some extruded parts to it.

step 2 of 9

Next step I proceeded to add a cylinder shape, along with beveled edges to smooth it out. I then added a cone shaped array to create the spikes.

step 3 of 9

For the next step I created another oil tank shape, and used a Boole object to cut holes into it.

step 4 of 9

I then created a tube shape and added another array with cylinders.

step 5 of 9

Next I created another oil tank shape, added additional segments and made it editable. Using the ring selection tool, I selected only the inner segments, and scaled the tank to the center. I then added some extrude parts on the top and beveled the edges.

step 6 of 9

Next I added a tip, and used to bulge deformer to create the spade shape. Following that I duplicated the piece and rotated it appear knocked over.

step 7 of 9

I added a chessboard pattern to the plane.
