Progress!

Today was productive.

• I scaled up the side elevation and plan whilst Ed printed the site plans.
• We had a few issues scaling up the drawings. Taking the 1:500 drawing back to 1:1 and then down to 1:400 gave us and overall length of 318.75mm. This was fine but in order to enlarge the 1:500 drawings up we needed a percentage which confused us all for a while. The percentage of increase must be 25% rather than the 20% we had calculated. This may seem reletively minor but it really set us back just because we couldnt make sense of it! (we still don't understand quite why it was 25% rather than the increase of 20% from the 1:500 drawings!)
• Once we had the site plan emeraled scaled it up to 1:400 and we began planning what exactly we wanted to include on the base board.
• We decided on overall dimentions of 330mm² at a height of 90mm at the 'high point' of the board and 60mm for the river level.
• Decided on construction of the baseboard and Ed cut out the peices.
• Me and Emerald made a sketch mock up of the model at scale 1:400 to use as a guide in constucting our model.

Overall a productive day. Next come issues with the finish look of the model on the baseboard.
