Today I adjusted the Rhino drawings to fit the top of the bigger arcs more convincingly. This went swiftly but we were unable to get on the laser cutter due to full bookings so Ive booked on for tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak on earlier.

Emerald finished the back of the clear sketch model and revac formed certain sections of the model to be used on the final structure.

The rest of the team agreed with my idea to split each section at the point to allow better manipulation of each segment. This was an issue because the vac formed molds wernt accurate enough but still hold the required shape to do the job we need them for.

Me and Emerald learnt how to make 'trees' for the model and will start next week or whenever the outer skin on the main building is complete.

Edward finished the front of the base board river and veneering. It looks really good. We are keeping the masking tape over the river to ensure it doent get damaged between no and hand in!

Ed also did some laquer testing to matt down the sheets of aluminum. It went alright but we need to test some more mixtures before we get it just right I think.

I mixed up the colour for the interior and have enough stored in a jar most likely for use tomorrow, then once dry we can press on with interior detailing.

We added to the list of 'to do's' which has made the path alot clearer for the next week. Hopefully we will get the bulk of the main build completed by Friday or at most, early next week.
