i managed to cut out the sections for my house to fit into. and i then glued together many layes of MDF to get a large block. once all the glue is dry and the block is solid, i will start to cut out my house design. however i havnt yet finished with my layers because i discovered that i am still short by about 10 layers so i am going to have to cut and shape them the next time i am in the workshop.
the vast majority of todays time went on sanding my pieces. i decided that i should sand the edges of each piece to make it look slightly better and so that my final model is a higher standard and quality to my test model. unfortunately for me, the only way of getting the job done was to sand each and every piece (30 something) by hand. and man are my arm aching :(
but on the plus side, the model does look a lot better with the edges sanded. :)
