All Done!

Thanks everyone for a good semester...

See you around the campus

Workshop Closed!

Thought I'd let you guys know that Mario is sick and has closed the workshop for 3+ days (Monday till...?)
I'm pretty stuck now as I can't complete my model....

Anybody know robbie's email? Tried looking but I can't find it... :(

Cheers,

Poised to be a hero

Hey guys as you can see still a bit of work to be done here, but everything is on track with the patience game, just a matter of painting and polishing. Basically I'm gonna use acrylic for the LED display which surrounds the 3 by 3 base of my game block and I've already got some rubber matting which I can simply cut spray and paste onto the corners for my buttons. Also vac formed a clear plastic case which will hold the blocks together when not in use. It is not quite a hero yet, but has great potential I think...

hero shot

Here is a rendreing of my product dne in photoshop and I still need more practise with the tablet. Even thought the final turned out thicker than I had hoped due to internal parts I am happy with the directioms I took throughout the project.

Busy Beacon Hero Shot

Hi,

Above is a very basic rendered image (3d Studio Max + V-ray) of the final design of my Busy Beacon…..which will do as my hero shot (Some surfaces are still box, no time to mesh model everything perfectly). Physical model's progress is below the hero.

I managed to turn down my Acrylic spheres to a fair degree of spherical-arity. Also found these little self sufficient LEDs that I could plug into the spheres and fire up. All other parts are painted and clear-coated (beats cutting and polishing…I think). So now I can start assembling, gluing together parts (the most enjoyable part in the process, as it all just …comes together).

Good Luck fellow industrial designers.

Sova hero shot

i have been playing around with paint finish and i was thinking of putting a white highlight in just to break up the black a bit. I think it still has the authoritative feel that is needed but it is a bit better than all black, what are your thoughts? Also i have changed the sova logo. I think this one is better. Anyway i need to get back to drawing.

drying

hey,

so i couldn't touch my model because its drying (i tried... bad idea,
now i need to respray it tomorrow after i sand back my fingerprints!).
thus can't position it for the awesome hero shot i would have made.

but this pic should explain the mirror like finish i obtained for my
chrome shower head.

Catchya thursday everyone!

Laura "Hero" shot

So due to my lack of photoshop.... I give you:


It's almost finished. I've still got to position the globe so the light disperses more evenly, print the gradient onto transperent paper and attach the microphone section to the rest.

Something i did in photo shop  quickly. Very close to what the final should look like.

Hero Shot...without the hero part

Here's mine. The top bit is going to be finished in chrome and the bottom bit in matte black to represent the soft cloth bit. At the moment i'm sanding back the primer off the top part to make it as smooth as possible. Then i will undercoat it in silver, and the to finish it off i will apply the chrome paint. As for the bottom bit i just need to paint it black and it will be done.

Final Blog Post

Okie dokie then guys...the final blog post from me.

As you can see, i have the models all done up. Not too much of a hero shot this time im afraid...been quite hectic down my end this past week or so!

Jessica

Last post :(

The lovely folks in my model-making class already know how complicated (and large) is the drill that I have to hand in within a week or so… (even Peter mentioned on Monday that he initially insisted on changing the design because of all the complex curves – unfortunately I resisted and went ahead with the original concept but luckily finished on time). To add to all the frustrations and complications of making that model within the given timeframe, I had to make this complex shape as well. Just when I thought every thing is on the right track and under control with both projects, something went horribly wrong last week with the painting of this model and I thought it was destined to be doomed! I had to "re-construct" and "re-paint" most parts of the model within a time span of a week. So here it is, with flexible arms and the rest of the works… Oh and just for fun here is a picture of my 48 piece drill (pic from last week)…

not quite a hero...

The final part of my model process is still to come.. with a little more plastic.. primer and then assembly.
i cant say its a hero shot but its a bit of a pose (:

hi:

Week 13

Last Studio!

Discussing models,

Presentation boards,

Those final decisions...

THIS IS TESTING MY PATIENCE!!!

Really sorry about the late post robbie and co. Had a great deal of trouble with my internet last night and couldn't get it working until earlier this morning. Anyway as you can see I have made slight progress with my model, but sanding 36 blocks so that they are exactly the same is pretty tedious and time consuming so I have still got a fair bit of work to do. Hope to be in the workshop tommorow finishing sanding down my last 12 cubes and then start drilling the holes through them. The base dock shouldn't be too hard to make. Just two seperate pieces of wood sanded and glued together. For the buttons I'm thinking of purchasing some coloured rubber, cutting it out and sticking it onto the base corners. For the LED display the simplest option is to use plastic as I did in my mock up model. Oh and seeing as I couldn't employ the magnetic effect I reckon I'm gonna vac form a clear case for the finished game block which will sit over the 36 assembled blocks and keep them in place.  Thanks guys

magnetic board progress shots...

This is the progress of my magnetic board model so far. I am still yet to apply a patter to the metal plate and hinge both sides together. I also need to cut the magnetic blocks out and paint them. I plan to go shopping for materials tomorrow.

>thanks Tim.

"If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again" - Aaliyah

Hi all
 
So my model is still developing. Overall I have chosen my materials. Wood face, rubber and foam strap. The lights will be vac forming unless Clarck Rubber has some great clear flexible tubing. My buckle will most likely be velcro as this is a simpler mechanism than a buckle or magnetic adjust. Overall size is still a bit big. I think if I curve the edge of the face to fit the hand it will be much more ergonomic and the band will follow the shape thus wrapping around your arm/ankle better.
 
Btw those worksafe adds are freaking me out especially when that girl slices her finger and it looks like a Kill Bill outake.
 
Ciao everyone

Busy Beacon

Hi,
Below are the materials and parts which make up my busy beacon…...soo far.

As you can see, there is some work to still be done;
- Turn my Acrylic blocks into spheres
-Mill down the beacon's body
-Sand down the pivot body
-Prime all parts
-Insert purchased parts, light globes, switches, dials etc.
- glue parts together
-And then go to sleep

Bottom Right: shows my finalised 3d model. Finished result should look something like that.

Daniel Dob.

progress or not

yes got a fare bit to do. but basicly making my form out of wood then painting i have drilled the whole and made the workings for the pivoting cylinder the rest of the making is purely the form so hopefully all goes well.

Model Development

The form of my model is 98% complete with only the ON/OFF button needing to be incorporated. Then i need to prime and paint as well as add the visual features... I'm on track

model process

this is my original idea of making the glass cover for the rain gauge, through plastic panels, but i am hoping to try and vac-form it next week just to see how it turns out. i have used balsa wood for forming the tree, and will use painted wood for the back panel and aluminum for the leg mounts..

Model progress so far.

Ive constructed the sweep of the base and worked it with bog. doesnt look like much at the moment but after the hitting it with the bench sander the flat surfaces should start to look more like the finished product. The power module is the same as from the model forum but with slightly better surface finishes. the water module is still on is way since it requires mostly lathe work.

Andrew van der Merwe

model progress

Hey All

I managed to find myself a foam mannequin head model at spotlight. I'm using that as a layup for my model. Still making the entire thing out of bog. It should work out alright. Can't think of any better way to do it. Using wire to stiffen the thing throughout. This way I can do the entire thing at home, won't need any workshop equipment

>WILL

Food bacteria tester

Here is my model in primer, it still needs some bog and should be done in time. The model will be white as it does test the cleanleness of food the product itself should also look clean.

I vac formed this- it's the 'inside' with the screen and the buttons and the base of the 'outside' with the microphone. I'm going to put a piece of paper with a gradient of yellow to red in the screen and put a light inside to demonstraight the illuminating effect of the LCD screen. The microphone side will be constructed of bluefoam with black opaque stocking fabric stretched over. I'll use silver tape to apply the line around the base of the 'outside'. I've also got to tidy up the tail so it's not sliced in two, I think I'll shape the blue foam to cover it.

Laura.

Weekly progress

Hey guys,
 
As you can see my model hasnt changed much over the last week however its not that i havent done anything. As you can see i have painted the base plate chrome. I have done this for the other base plate as well. I have also constructed some internal structure in both hemispheres to make it easier to fit to the base plate. Also for the inside i have sorted out what will create the glow dispersed by the angry form of the product. The spikes are filed on the inside and are ready to be bonded to the surface tomorrow morning. Im planning on getting the model finished off this weekend so hopefully that all goes to plan. Thanks guys
 
Cya soon

Hi all,
This is my model so far,
