With the model, we wanted to emphasise the difference between the internal and external, and what better way than to simply pull off the skin. Removing one wall so people are able to see what is behind that wall. Literally.
And since we were unable to use any of the plans we had possession of, we had to study them and draw up one of the section we were in fact cutting so we knew what we had to build.
This is the Section drawn in my book,the actual version we worked off is now long lost...
After that, we began the long process of building the rooms.
That's right, rooms.
As a jumble of rooms of different floor and ceiling heights, we were unable to simply make a floor, then put walls up on the level. We figured the most efficient way of doing this was by building the rooms more or less individually, and then assembling them.
I worked on the left half of the house...
Working with watercolour paper meant we had to layer a LOT.For the garage seen above, some walls took up to SEVEN layers watercolour.
Garage with the start of the main hall stacked on top.Again, 7 or 8 layers for the wall...
Whilst Nilo worked on the right.
I believe this is the anter room, closet and guest toilet
Nilo hard at work.(note: This is him losing his Modelmaking Virginity!)
I was able to catch half an hour of sleep on a table at about 6:30 or 7 in the morning, but all in all, These rooms were a lot more time consuming than expected.
