Post 9; Modern Chateau Model

My project so far has been taking on the look that I envisioned it would. That being that the 3D print is now as perfect as I want it to be, the stone and wired trees/ferns are starting to fit in place without tipping over etc. Even though I am about half way through with my project, I am starting to see several constraints and successful aspects. That being said, here is my current list of successful aspects:

• I am able to now string the lights through the stone and connect it to the model in order to provide my light source
• The wired trees and ferns are coming together and are fitting anywhere on the stone without fully falling over or having a fragile state
• I am reaching the stage where I can buy other ferns/landscaping fauna to add some color pop onto the layout
• Once I fit the lights in place I can now glue the model down in order to finalize the project
• Its starting to become a model where you can move things around on it in order to make it dynamic

Even though my project is starting to come together, I am still feeling many constraints. These constraints are inhibiting me from making my project the best quality possible.

• I am starting to notice that the model could have been a bit bigger which would have made the lighting and construction a bit easier
• It’s a very heavy stone sheet, so it doesn’t make it the best thing to carry around
• The lighting is becoming pretty difficult considering I am only using a foot out of a twelve foot string of lights
• I wish it was a bit more dynamic, but it’ll get the job done for the project
• I wish I was able to add more texture and color to the 3D printed model along with the stone

Although there are several successful attributes and constraints, I am still excited to present a project on something that I am truly passionate about. I also understand that our project has to be really dynamic, which is why I added the landscaping hedges/trees/ferns  and the lights that can be turned on and off. I just wish that I was able to add a bit more “movement” and dynamics to the project, but it’ll do for now.
