Model It - First Week





What I learnt:
Materials: I learnt that I prefer to work with bolsa over cardboard. It is harder to cut and not as accurate.
Error: I also made the error of putting the heavier material on top (the cardboard). I have to create a support to hold it up.
The support beam I put across the house has the grain running in the wrong direction. Supports should have the grain running along from end to end.
Constructed cuts: We practiced making cuts in the bolsa once it had already been constructed. It is hard to control the end point – but where the building interlock, the cut was neater than the bolsa window.
