Reflection 3D Design

wohooo. i finaly started my final model today and i cant wait to get it finished. in my opinion i started rather late as i now only have one whole day left to complete it but not many others in the class have started theirs yet so i dono. first i did some test pieces using copper (because i have decided that is the material i wnat to use for my final model) and rivits. the first one i did i didnt like because you can see the rivets so i had a think and came up with a simple but efective solution. instead of riveting the pieces to each other, rivet them to a seperate piece. i also did some soldering today to make a rectangle out of copper and it want a bit wrong as it just broke straight away :( but i know why that was now. i didnt heat it up enough because when Kate did it, it went proper glowing yellow. but now i know how its done.
