w00t! i just finished my building :D

the project was to research load os buildings (which i havent shown), design a building and make it using card. You can see the first sketch i did was a perspective drawing, looking up... then from that i drew some 1/2 scale blueprints. From these i made a quick test model using paper.

With the final product, i dint just glue 3 boxes together (well, technically i did, but i made the boxes from scratch :P ). all i had was some flat cardboard, and cut out 4 sodes of each box individually, cut tabs around them, and glued them together to make a box. this was the hardest bit :/

then came the easier, but more fiddly parts. i used cardboard tupes and regular card to make the pillars.. and all thats left to do is neaten up the edges with parcel tape and paint it :)

heres how it was put together (sorry for the shitty diagram).

i basically had to cut tabs for each section of each box, allowing for them to be folded and stuck together, with a square of card placed on the top and bottom. i like the way it turned out :) not only that but it is in exact proportion to my drawing.

I always hated technology class because I had to make those exact thingies and stuff... I'm no good at that.

That is pretty cool stuff, Suicide. Do you plan on painting it or anything, and making a little model town?

And then you should BURN IT AND FILM IT!!! :O

(I did that to an art project of mine before, if you want to see it, PM me ;))
