Thesis

My project is the diorama of the train set that Measle was stuck in. It has a building from the book and some train tracks. Finally I painted it brown and made a compartment were Basil's victims and Measle hid from Basil.

This is my conceptual precedent of the Diorama.

This is my technical precedent for my project. because it is a trap door and my project has a trap door.

Initial sketch

Iteration 1

Iteration 2 I decided to make the track straight to make it easier to design.

Iteration three I decide to build only one building instead of two.

Thank you for your time!

Day 1

On day one I made my sketch and my planing sketch. My plan is to have a diorama with the hole that Measle hides in and some of the buildings from the book. Finally it will include the train tracks from the book and the mirror that Measle used, also it will include characters from the book.

Day 2

Today I worked more on my laser cut. I also ordered a tiny mirror for my diorama. I will make some of the buildings and Minifigures at home out of Legos.

Day 3

Today I laser cut my base and I built one of the two buildings and glued it on. I also painted and started the room that Measle hid in with Basel's other victims. I still need to get the mirror and build supports for the base, and finally if there is time I would like to put some LEDs in the hole where Measle hid.

Today I started working on my Mid review presentation for tomorrow. I am ahead and do not need to work on my project today. but tomorrow I will add supports and a floor for my diorama.

day 4

I built supports using pool noodles and a floor for my project I also added a mirror. finally to show the train tracks I hot-glued the outline of the train tracks. Today or Thursday I will paint the train tracks grey.

Day 5

Day 6

Today I added things to the trap door so it stays in place. Then I painted them and today I will complete the reflection for mid review.

I made the log cabin again this time out of cardboard. Over the weekend I will glue sticks to it so it will look more like a log cabin.

Day 7

Day 8

Today I glued sticks and Popsicle sticks to my project to make it look like a log cabin now I just need to glue it to my project.

Day 9

I have finished my project today by gluing a paper picture of shingles to make it look realistic. finally I glued the house to the base of my project.
