Reflection - FMP

OMG this is my last day of making and i am having big big big problems with the final part of my model (the solar dome) i just can not cut all the pentagons to the exact shape and size. even if one of them is slightly off, then the whole dome will not work. after many attempts of cutting out of MDF, i thought that i might be able to use foamboard however, this too was a huge disaster.


with only hours to go befor the workshop closes for the holidays, i decided that it was time for plan B. which was to vacume form clay doam and cover it with the solar pannel pattern that i have already created and printed off.


unfortunately i ran out of time so i am going to have to cover the dome at home during the holidays with is ok.

UPDATE:
the solar dome looks fine and here it is:
