The first exercise in the modelling component required the construction of an 80cm*80cm house. In the second part we had to make the same house again but with windows and finally we were to join these two together.
The first two images show my first attempt. I had a lot of problems to begin with. For example the balsa was of poor quality, cracking and splitting, the walls and the roof didn't match up and the orientation of each piece was all over the place. So I took the model home and repeated the exercise.
The hardest part of this attempt was getting the cut-out right so that each house sat at an angle. The lower house contains a weight to stabilise the structure. I liked the idea of creating something unrealistic and using my fledgling Engineering knowledge.
