Learning to make 3D models 1

 We began by looking at other models students have made to get an idea of what we will be creating.

We were then given an example to scale (scale 1:25) to follow in order to produce our own. Using pins I pinned each corner and then used a set square to make sure my lines were straight before joining all of my points together including the thickness of the walls.

The next step was to start the elevation process. After measuring out the height of the walls, I followed the lines of my own drawing underneath to show were the lines needed to be for my elevation.

I then used tracing paper on top of my scale drawing and guide lines for my elevation to draw my elevation. Using a set square at this point is extremely important otherwise the elevation will not be correct. Once I had finished, this is what my final elevation looked like.

The next stage in learning to create my 3D model was to build the floor, walls and insert doors and windows. First of all I used pins to mark the corners on a piece of cardboard and then a set square to make sure my edges were straight to create my 3D model before glueing it together.
