a bit of bragging....

ok so today i was rather productive - i went to two classes, got lots of homework done, got a job application (for the bookstore), and made a model of a tape measure. that's right, you read it right, a model of a tape measure.

for my 3d class, we make models of things in cardboard. so i made my first of three models of the tape measure tonight (we have to make a 2'' a 4'' and a 6''). i made the 2''. it looks kinda funny cause it is "linear contour" or something along those lines, and so we just make a frame with lines to show where the outer layer would go, and we are supposed to kinda expose the innards, so there is a spool of "tape" in there....

the real one along with some of my detailed plans and drawings:

to give you a bit of an idea of the scale (it's tiny! and the details were so annoying!! grrr. it is actually the same size as the real one.....)
