I was not clear if we had decided on 1/16" = 1'. I am assuming that that will be the final scale and am currently planning to build my models according to this, however I personally feel this is to small and would rather move up to 1/8" = 1'. Please clarify this for me.
I feel like I should quantify my reasoning. I wish to build at 1/8" = 1' for three reasons. The first is that when constructing the structural model I feel working at such a small scale will lead to many issues with craftsmanship where as if we were working with larger material there would be more room for error. Secondly constructing stairs of material that is 1/32" thick would be very difficult, due to how delicate they would be and making railings would be extremly difficult. Finally my model calls for several curved pieces of material and I was hoping to use basswood for the final which at such a small scale would be extremly difficult to bend without breaking.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what everyone else in the class thinks and am willing to debate this jump in scale.
so would that in turn mean a smaller scale model that fits in the site and then our own individual model at whatever scale is decided?
