Model IT! Week 3-Major Take Home Task

Our final major project model was to construct a highly detailed model of Fisher House in 1:50 showing all rooms. This project required us to bring together all the skills we had learnt in the past few weeks and utilize them.

One of the most difficult aspect of this project was reading the plans and assessing how to construct each side and bring all the sides together. Thinking about how i was going to make that model took a lot of time, but once it figured out cutting became relatively easier.

I made the house so each level cold be taken apart, this made it easier to not only see the interiors but to cut and put things together. One of the major design bumps I hit was how to represent the exterior timber cladding on the house.

To navigate around this bump i made sure when i was cutting that the grain was perpendicular to the cladding direction (grain ran horizontally). By doing this i could score the cladding on to make i look like my model had a exterior timber finish.
