Eliot Coven's Group: Blue Foam Day Two Post

Today in class we finished up the final details to our Adobe Illustrator file and then plotted our Super Nintendo remote. Our piece is roughly 4 ft x 2 ft x 8 ". We bought 4 sheets of 2" blue foam and super 77ed them together, putting epoxy in as well. My team mates then glued our print out on top of the foam while I began laying and cutting out the buttons. We ended the class by cutting the gigantic piece on the ban saw. Next class we will continue to make progress and try and finish most of the body of our object. If we can do this than the following classes can be devoted to spackling and finishing the piece.

Blue Foam Class One Post

In the first class we chose our object. We considered doing the mouse for a computer but came to a decision that a super nintendo remote would be much cooler. The next step was to get as many pictures of the controller as possible and luckily Mike had a super nintendo in his room that we could measure and scale. We decided to lay the top view out on Adobe Illustrator. This took the majority of the class. In the next class we will plot our illustrator file and begin carving foam.
