P4 Modelmaking

This is the fun part. Also one that takes a lot of stupid time (like waiting for my paint to dry). Anyway, I spent night and day for a week and a half on my model, and finished it early with time to spare. I don't think my classmates headed to the shop until the beginning of the last four days before deadline.
It's so exciting to see the product form before your eyes. Well, even though it's only a looks-like close to working prototype model. And, I'm super glad I am buddies with the lab technician and got my cnc model out quick, in good quality, and discounted!

Planning... (note the frustration in the corner)

All interior components need to fit. And it needs to make sense for the person installing and fixing parts.

Blob options.

And I thought it would be cool to make a video! (So I did)

Oh! and know a cool tip on to make your chrome finish extra shiny? Spray a layer of varathane/clear coat over your initial layer of whatever, be it primer, or first layer of chrome. and then spray your final coat. It will come out SUPER GLOSSY. It's beautiful, you can almost see your face in it. (not really, but the shiny coat was cool nonetheless) You can bet I wanted to coat everything in chrome after that.
