My 3D Model

After looking over my two ideas for models i decided on the second. Partly due to already having some of the materials needed to construct it aswell as thinking it would be a much more aesthetically pleasing design to look at, with how simple the design is, in a basic sense just being stacked horiztontal planes. After this decsion I went about building my model starting with a thick of white A4 card to be the base aswell as the backdrop to the main part of the model. I cut lots of parallelogram shaped pieces of coloured card utilising a set square to keep the angle at 30°. From this I began layering the coloured card using thin cardboard to sperate the layers. I mostly followed the shape I had set out to build, being a skewed plus shape. I didn't completely follow my original design instead changing it where I though I could improve the way the model looked.

I am actually alot more pleased with how the model turned out than I though I would be with it succesfully appearing to have much greater depth than it actually does. Also I think that the way the layers are stacked is hidden very well making the horizontal planes appear as if they actually are floating.
