MoDEL IT!: Final - Fisherhouse 1:50

Fisherhouse 1:50 

Three floors: ground, first and basement.

The hardest thing of making this model was the planning. You really had to come up with a plan of for example how do I achieve the joint between two squares. After that, all other things were pretty much cutting and pasting. My idea is showing that these two square are one whole component. For showing that, I making each single layers at one piece which can be picked up as one. The basement are one piece. The exterior walls are in one piece with movable first floor that can be lifted up. The roof is one piece either.

One problem of my model is the thickness of the wall. I did increase the thickness of the basement. However, I did not apply that idea to exterior walls of first and ground floor. The model looks like being made of paper - non building look.

In this photo we can actually see the little black corner I built in my bedroom for photo shooting. I used my spare black board that left from my recent work in foundation studies. Worked pretty well.
