Week 9

This week’s task was to start building the model. While I cut out the elevations, Rhianna cut out our floor materials and started work on our foam base.

Cutting these parts for the model was very tedious and I found myself getting a bit frustrated at how long it was taking. Cutting out the windows was also difficult as the corners were difficult to get perfect.

We decided to add wall finishes to the model to help cover up the join of the acetate used for the windows. It also meant that we could tie the paint colour into the mock timber slatting we created for the northern hallway wall.

Adding these wall finishes also helped to cover up a few mistakes in cutting the windows but also covered the scored lines used to round out the walls. They looked quite messy and ruined the overall look of the model.
