So I've been trying to further my "drawings" without paper. Here's what I've got:
This is a section constructed with wire.
When turned sideways, the section has depth, although these spaced created by the pushing of planes do not model the actual building. Today I tried making this same model with a thicker gauge wire, but it was softer than the thin gauge so I'll be trying to find some other metal, possibly at Benny's instead of Michael's. (besides, Michael's was playing Christmas music.. UHG!)
This is the mess left over after pulling the chipboard away from my wax cast. I think I'll try working with foam core instead of chip and possibly covering the mold in either vaseline or tinfoil to make the removal a bit easier.
Here is the casting. The floor plan was supposed to have a rectangle around it representing the paper but I ran out of wax last night causing the "paper" to be only about 1/4" thick. Most of this "paper" broke off and the plan broke right down the middle. Moral of the story, MORE WAX!
The casting with all the broken "paper" pieces on the left.
Where the floor plan broke. Jason and I were able to fix it with a bic liter and some extra wax.
