@jame5j - thanks for watching. My laser cutter is a 5th gen, 40W from Full Spectrum Laser. It works well for my purposes (cutting paper, basswood, chipboard, acrylic)...it's not powerful enough to do thicker plywoods which is fine b/c the cutting area is 12"x18". The base is removable and could be used to etch or carve larger pieces in-situ. Shoot me an e-mail if you have any other questions... Cheers...
My legend😍😍...every video, make me move forward and do my projects exactly like you...really you are a great teacher for me and I really hope to see you one day or have some connections...any way, thank you very much...
I wish I had you as an instructor during my art school days. My math ability, or lack there of, steered me in the direction of a 4 year art school and interior design. Ended up in exhibit design. Your design vocabulary is impeccable, as is your visual talent - well done.
kind words my friend...many thanks... i wonder how many have turned away from this profession thinking that strong math skills were a prerequisite? thanks for sharing your thoughts...
Cheers...thanks for subscribing and commenting... For most models I prefer chipboard in varying thicknesses: 1/16" + 1/32" are my go-to sizes, inexpensive, easy to cut and they take spray paint very nicely without curling. The base here is made with 1/8" chipboard which i can easily cut and etch on a laser cutter, but it's hard to manage with Olfa/X-acto blades. Museum board is an upgraded option and comes in varying thicknesses (similar to chip) and cuts like butter, much easier on the hands but it can get dirty and it's more expensive. Balsa and basswood are nice for stick-like pieces (framing, stair treads, etc.), but they can be pricey for larger models. Hope that helps...
+in5omniac - yes...indeed! I've since added two Wasco large format skylights at the ridge as a result of studying the model at different times of the day.
This binge watching is going to last as long as my career ..!!!!!!!!! YOU MOTIVATE :D
as a first year architecture student, I’m very happy i came across your channel because it helped me so much with my projects. Thank you!!

This channel became my favourite. Thanks for the advices, this was really helpful.
kind words, many thanks!
Awesome! I have never done any models as i didnt know it has so much to reveal. Thanks :)
+levosz123 - cardboard and glue can yield amazing results...the tactile process is rewarding in a way that digital modeling isn't...
cheers...
great video!! really wonderful channel you got there. i find it really very helpful as an architecture student. Keep up the awesome work.
thanks for watching...!
Hi Eric. Great series, really enjoying seeing your process. Was wondering about your laser cutter, what model is is? How do you find it? Thanks.
Uh Hi. Great video andits helping me alot through out my studio sessions what wood do you use for your massing models? Thanks.
What is the standard scale of modeling architectural structure?, Is there any standard? Or It depends?
