Design
- I designed things in Inkscape for 2 D shapes.
- I scanned statue of puffin in Roland Dr. Picza. see 3D scanning
- I mirrored the 3-D model in Blender.
Production
- I did some experiments using candle wax.
- It did not turn out so great.
- It is much better using the modelling wax, because you can get better details. But if you don't need much detail, it is ok to use the candle wax.
- I used Shopbot machine for making model of Iceland.
- I used modella for making model of puffins.
