Progress Update


Here is the lastest photos of my model of Villa Savoye. Here you can see my baseboard all masked up to reduce chances of scratchs and marks on the paint. I have now nearly finished assembling the ground floor. All I need to complete is the rounded glass walls at the front, the interior/exterior ramp that will give the model some structure and to put all windows in place. I have had a few set backs to painting, such as being given wrong thinners to mix with the paint. These thinners are yellow and have given some of my interior walls a shade of yellow. New thinners will be brought and I will have to respray it all including my baseboard.





This is the Interior/Exterior ramp, which was going to be put into the final model but I came across quite a few problems. Certain dimentions were wrong, the ramp was constructed in the wrong way and the use of tensol was a bad choice. I got some more laser cuttings for the ramp done and began planning on how to build it again. Instead of having all seperate pieces painted then being stuck together, I have decided to split the ramp into two parts, assemble using dichlo (which shall give it a much cleaner finish) and then spray white.



I will have this completed by tomorrow ready to be put into the model. For now I will not permanently stick this in as there may be some minor adjustments later on in the project.
