Cardboard progress
Work on our cardboard project goes well. Like many, i began with the idea of layering cardboard to build the shape needed, but scrapped that idea mostly when it began to take much too long, i decided to simplify my design soon after finishing one small part using the layers, which would be later reinforced. I made the large wings out of two layers to strengthen them, although I'm afraid to add much else to them, as the weight might overwhelm the piece. I made the drum out of a few simple cut and shaped pieces and added braces to strengthen them, and i might leave it as is, with the open spot, because it does its job there anyways. I like the way the curly things on top shaped, although the rest of the parts up there aren't too accurate. Overall this piece, this cow vertebrae, or what have you, is a very complicated item to make out of cardboard.
Looking at it in this picture makes it seem rather menacing for some reason........I like it.
