Famous Buildings Update 16

Today, me and my partner are halfway done with everything we need to cut out, so we are still behind. We are working hard and quick as possible but also making sure everything comes out neat. We will try to finish cutting and rabbeting so that we could start to glue all the buildings together.

Today, me and my partner finished our first tower out of six -__- ... in any case, we have done a good job with what we have completed and i am planning on coming in the morning and stop by during lunch to use as much time as possible to complete parts of the project that should have been done already.

Today, we got our first wall out as well as one of the buildings of our fortress. We have assigned each other what each must do in order to use our time wisely. We are a little behind but coming in before school starts will help me and my partner catch up.

Today, my partner started cutting out the front wall of our structure and i started sketching out the buildings to cut out as well.

Famous Buildings Update 10

Today, I figured out that me and my partner were starting the project wrong. We were starting the front part of the project without doing the base first and then drawing the floor plan so we could figure out where each building has to be. The only difficulty is that there are separate buildings so i need to make up for the lack of use for space.

So far, me and my partner have continued outlining our building in order for us to make sure when we cut it out we are cutting out the right things and not missing any parts of the structure. Right now i am currently wondering if i would be able to do anything with the drawbridge now that we are doing a 3D model. We could possibly use an outside material that can make the drawbridge open or close. The most important part though is to make sure we start cutting out the castle so we start building the back side and both sides of the castle.

Me and my partner along with the whole class have began making our 3D models of our structure. We have solely figured out the dimensions and how exactly we are going to draw it. The only problem that will be will probably be the depth but were probably making it harder than we think. Otherwise, we have made good progress.

Today, me and my partner are sure that we completely finished our castle/fortress. The end product is a series of towers, 3 pointed towers, 2 watch towers, and a giant building behind everything which would work as the chapel monastery. We added arches and big windows for a modern look as well as a symbol above the chapel that symbolizes our certain castle-fort.

Today, me and my partner continued on working with our castle/fort. We completed the entire structure, all we need to work on now is the detailing, in other words windows, arches, or any other specific detailing to make the building look more official.

Famous Buildings Update 3

Today, we got back our sketches for the current project. Both my partner and I worked on the border, the title, box, thinking of a creative name for the building, and where to start sketching the building. We have come up with a concept, all we need to do now is sketch that concept on a piece of paper.

Today, I completed my second design, creating a more futuristic palace structure. In total, i have a somewhat traditional castle/fortress with a futuristic palace. My partner created two different designs of fortresses/castles. Together, we decided to create a large castle structure but the use for it would be a fortress. We are going to use his design of fortress walls and exterior view with my design of a large castle structure.

Famous Buildings Update 1

Since yesterday i have been working on a design for a structure from the Castles, Palaces, and Forts category. I had an idea of a castle but then after researching ideas for a design, i completely changed the design and decided to make more of a castle fortress.
