Modeling

Building a Model

This is our attempt to translate the paper plans into a CNC cut 1/8th scale model. ...it's close, but the plans need some refining.

We did 1/12 and 1/8th scale models until we had a pattern that pulled together nice. 

Repeating this on full scale will be the real trick.
