I think part of the bulging simply ...Thanks Brian!<br /><br />I think part of the bulging simply came from the placement of the card stock over the structure of the rocket. I wanted to mimic the pattern of metal paneling, much like how old WWII fighter planes were built. That's why I made that honeycomb interior so that the card-stock would have something circular to adhere to. The idea was to get the appearance of a curved surface through a series of angles.<br /><br />So I think a combination of that, slight shrinkage and me trying to smooth out sets of panels, that overlapped each other, with additional spackle is what accentuated that look of the internal structure sort of bulging out. But your right it does look pretty skeletal which serves the story even better!Alfonso Estradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01336976068182228001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992192734322401384.post-56334110436412668712010-04-05T16:07:36.863-07:002010-04-05T16:07:36.863-07:00mr fonz. i love this blog. this has already inspir...mr fonz. i love this blog. this has already inspired me to put up more posts about process, as opposed to just finished pieces of work. It's really exciting/intersting/radical/informational/horizon-broadening to see how you tackle fabrication challenges that I might've handled differently.<br /><br />question! did you intend for the internal skeleton of the rocket to kind of bulge out from beneath the cardstock, or was that a happy accident that resulted from the spackling shrinking the paper a bit? Either way, I'm glad it happened - it gives it a really good skeletal feel that probably wouldn't have ever happened if you were a fartbooger and made parts of your film in computer "3D."<br /><br />also i love how you write. i imagine tony p. reading this and cracking up at the subtle fonzer tone that it all has. :DHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288473066598647024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992192734322401384.post-56933201420954446872010-04-05T13:39:18.838-07:002010-04-05T13:39:18.838-07:00wow. That looks like it took a lot of work. You sa...wow. That looks like it took a lot of work. You said "start with what you know", what if I don't know anything about construction or design? what should I do?Jachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408027086678901003noreply@blogger.com
