We were getting close to the final week by now and realized that we needed to find a new material to build the structure which was light weight and also easy to glue. We also tweaked the final design one last time to make some of the faces simpler. We canceled out using any sort of paper or card as this would just be too week and would not support the structure. We finally come to the conclusion on Foam Board. This was definitely a great choice as not only was it really light weight yet thick enough to glue together, it was much more flexible than the wood and we were able to stick together the back with masking tape instead of glue so we were able to adjust and make changes if we were not happy unlike before. We also decided to up the measurements on the structure in size so we had a bigger scaled version this time.
Considering the amount of problems and set backs we had to over come to create the structure I was pleased with the final proto type that we had created just to show that for future references with more money and time, we would definitely be able to re create a similar structure on a much larger scale for a particular event or festival without too much hassle as we know what works now and what doesn’t. and that its definitely about the risk taking like we did by continuing to build the structure despite being told to come up with a new design.
