planar, wooden and wire models - Ross kingston

i found using wood for my models to be quite an interesting experience as I had never done any model building until now. It was quite hard when doing angles as gluing them was a problem because of trying to maintain that exact angle. these were the three mock ups I experienced with and made which gave me a great understanding of shape and filling the void.

My final wood model i found to be a success as it filled a lot of the void within my 3D acetate model and doesn't have the obvious shape of a pyramid as that what i tried to stay away from.this turned out to what i feel is the most successful model out of my three finals as i feel it meets the criteria quite well

I found working with paper wasn't as easy as i thought it would be because there were a lot of difficulties trying to come up with the shapes and connecting those shapes with an interior link to fill the void.

My final paper model was successful but i feel didn't capture as much of the void as the other two finals did. this i feel would be my least successful out of the lot but i did capture the shapes within the acetate model and applied it to my final planar model

wire was one of the most hardest materials to make models with as bending the wire into shape wasn't easy. When creating my wire mock ups I was filling the void but not exploring the entire acetate model.

My wire model was very successful even though it was one of the harder materials to work with. I utilized the shapes and the interior void of my acetate model and came up with a model that had a very abstract shape as I didn't try to concentrate on how the model looked but more concentrating on the void within the model and it really paid off in the end.
