We have started to construct the sketch model using chemiwood, MDf and card cutouts. Angel turned and and sanded the support beam from a MDF scrap and then marked and drilled in holes for the cabels to come out of. I made the rounded base for this out of three sections of chemiwood to show where the railings and changes in texture will be. I did this by tracing the correct shape and dimensions from the scaled drawings and using this as a template when bandsawing and finally sanding back the structure when all three sections were glued together. We have a few ideas how we will attatch the railings afterwards.
When starting to construct the bridge from card we encountered a few issues. The initial support beams underneth the walkway were too flimsey and not to the correct thickness to Angel took my template and then cut some MDF ones from this. Once I had stuck the scaled drawings of the walkway together and reproduced the shape in card, we could see just how long and big our proposed model would be wich would not fit the brief to stay within the size of a desk space once completly assembled.
