Very interesting technique. I've been looking for something like this to finish a big 2,5 feet aircraft model. At the moment it is just a 3D frame but it could very well be filled out in a similar way because the definitive shape is full of compound curves. My question is: Could one further increase the finish of a model such as yours or do you only use this approach as a rough thinking aid.
Yes you can and should further increase the finish of a model. It can start as a thinking aid until its next evolutionary stage. Such as this model I would suggest filling in all the cracks with white clay and sanding it when dry. Finish with a high grit brush off dust and you can texture and paint the body. The ends can be fitted with black fabric salvaged from clothes or aluminum screen from windows painted black for the speaker covers. Print out from computer an lcd screen scene on gloss paper (or packing tape) to mimic a working screen. A step or two higher would be taking apart an existing speaker system and 3D printing the parts to have a working model.
@@MindsetAlchemy Thanks for the tips. I do however want to keep the model light. About a year ago I found a rather well suited foam core card material that I can use to fill out all openings with rectangular sheets that I can shape before gluing. I still have to do it though. Untill that time the model hangs safely above the spot where I am typing this, swaying easily in the hot air that comes from the back of the screen. It would actually be light enough to turn it into a flying model.:-)
As a mechanical designer myself... i wonder why not just print this on a 3D printer? They aren't expensive anymore, and a decent one would print such a model within 3-4 hours. You can go through several iterations with subtle design changes within a week.
I can attest in larger applications. In fabrication you’ll catch me doing miniature models of campers, bumpers, flatbed trays,trailers, etc, but you’ll catch me making foam core/ cardboard models to figure out where to put hinges/reinforcements, size and shape, etc.
A lot cheaper than steel or aluminum. Also a lot cheaper than any CAD software for my DIY needs. I would love to eventually move to CAD, but I can’t justify it on my already expensive personal projects. If I was mass producing for sale sure, but for a dude with a modestly armed garage with some tools, I get by.
You'll get a boost of views. Every year I send my students to these videos. Especially this year. Cheers
Thanks, what class or subject? ID?
@@EricStrebel Yes. First year ID at Carleton University.
Awesome
At last a video that is useful! Thank you....
Now you re my Teacher...so deal with it...thks
I wish I had chosen to study for this... Too late now :)
Loved your video series, this one was very educational and exciting.

Its not too late mate,if you know how to read measurement then its a start.
Are you using a paper foam board? Which foam board are sandwich between two thin layer of paper?
Sooo useful!
Was there a trick to getting the right curvature of the center grid cut pieces? Do those inner frame rings give all the info for it?
Or would you like putty it in and sand it to get the final shape and curve? Cus I notice there isn’t a grid in the drawing

thankyou..very helpful
Why don’t u link where to get the foam.
good idea, I will add an amazon link! thanks
Foam Core/Foamboard: amzn.to/2VrhKH0
what's this material called ? like does it have a market name ?
Foam core or FoamBoard.......
*******🤟Hard Core. Alt Rock. Metal. Math Rock. Emo. Shoe Gaze and Craft Band...FOAM CORE!!!🤟*******
Why not CA glues??
You could, but the cardboard is porous and the CA glue may take a little bit longer and might be more difficult.
Awesome! :)
Thank god for 3d printers.
But I prefer to create with my hands . When Im not feeling lazy.

Krystian Kalinowski its to early in the design process for a rapid prototype, stay tuned, i will continue to work on the project.
