Progress on the styrene project






I forgot to take some shots of my pieces before I started assembling them unfortunately. I numbered all the pieces on the diagram of the object and on the piece itself so I would know where to place it. I assembled the majority of the object today in class and now I will begin finishing it by making some paste and then sanding down all the edges. Here are some pictures below.

So far, I have squared my pieces of styrene and cut two parts.
i chose 3 different size styren 20 for the top bendy part, 40 for the front, and 60 for the bottom and back walls so it will be harder and more stable 

update

the progress i have made so far on my project is that i realized tat cutting the styren to make it have a perfect shape is harder than it appears so i have re made some of my pieces more than one trying to make them perfect, so before i start putting the pieces together i at least want to have the bottom and the back wall perfectly cut or very well done
