13/11/09: I picked up 4 seheets of the aluminium we are going to use for the outer sheeting on the model. We have only planned to use 3 but we felt it better to have more just in case cause we may not be able to go to 4d models again before the deadline.

Today I re-filled the floorplates and sanded them down followed by a primer coating. Apart from possibly ajusting then slightly to make sure they fit inside the 'shell', they are pretty much ready to be sprayed their final colour coat.

I drew the Rhino drawings for the scrylic sections that will sit at the front of the model to represent the glass entrance hall. Testing them in paper seems to fit well but with the final acrylic they will have to be bent slightly to fit the outer radious.

Ed remade the water acrylic section for the base board and backsprayed it black.

Thinking further ahead, we thing black trees and surrounding detail would fit best due to the river being represented as black.

Emerald worked more on getting the arcs of the shell correct. They seem to be taking a long time and its extreemly frustraiting that we havent had the correct drawings to work from in the first place.

Tomorrow we must meet some bigger goals, preferably the initial test cuts for the out shell and then the testing of the internal model which will then allow me to go on and spray it the final colour and add firther detail.

I'll tell Ed to start cutting the veneer cause theres no point in waiting any longer, jobs need to be done asap.

If possible I'll transfer the rhino drawings to illustrator and send them to Ed in the laser room to check over and then we can cut them. Once cut out we will have to make a former to bend them to in order to fit the model correctly.
