Model Making, Undergraduate 2013
Materials: Foam, Wood Filler, Spray Paint
Tools: Hot Wire Cutter, Hand Tools
Constraints:
5x Scale: The project must be a 5x scale model of a real object, and appear as close to the original as possible.
Analog Tools: Digital tools and fabrication were forbidden.
A found object.
Lettering roughed out with wire.
Layered primer, black, metalic, and textured paint (left); Additional texture with unprimed foam and paper mache (right).
Next Iteration?
Finish: The finish could be improved with brighter rust patches.
Balance: By chance, the final model was nearly the same weight as the original hook. Because of the uneven distribution of wood filler, however, the balance of the model wasn't the same as that of the object.
