Spaceship Model

This is my spaceship model. It took a ton of time to make, mostly because of the complicated measurements. I made the model with a lot of triangles so I put my old grade 11 trigonometry to good use. I made it out of illustration board; the two small bumps on the sides of the model are googly eyes and the laser cannon things on the head of the ship are some strange doodads I found in my house.











Here's the structural drawing I made of the model.

Scale Juxtaposition

This was the first 2-D project I did for class and the only one I actually liked. As you can see, I placed an astronaut inside a lava lamp.

Victorian Facade

It has been so long since my last post that I almost forgot about this entire blog thing. In the meantime, I have added many pieces to my collection so now I can actually reopen my page with more content!
For this project, I was supposed to create a scale model of the front of an old Victorian house. Victorian houses are generally defined as all houses built from 1837-1901, during the reign of Queen Victoria. Lucky for me, my own home happens to be a Victorian building, built in 1895 to be exact. I live in a semi detached house so the model is cut off on the left side.
The scale of the model is 1/4 inch equals 1 foot on the actual house and I made it out of illustration board and mayfair paper.



Here's my obligatory perspective drawing.
