I am making important things and scenes from the book and to the main character. I am making New York City and a basketball court. I am making the base out of a long strip of cardboard. For New York City, the buildings I am making will be 3-D. The basketball court will be colored in so it will look nice.

My conceptual precedent is this picture of New York City buildings. This gave me an idea of what I want New York City to look like for my project.

Technical Precedent: how to make cardboard buildings and what they should look like

I will make a museum kind of thing with 3 dioramas.

This would relate to my book because the dioramas will show very important scenes is the book

This is somebody using the laser cutter for a dice. I need to use the laser cutter to make the boxes of my dioramas.

Progress

3D Printed Charcters

The other thing I did today was start to make the characters that will also rest on my stand. Theese will be 3D printed, and a small but cool addition to my project. On the left you can see the golem named Charlie and on the right you can see Nan. These will most likely be 3D printed tomorrow.

On day three I finished the small box and started the big box.

DAY 3

On day 4 I finished the big box but there was a problem with the size and the box would not fit I tried to sand It and that did not work

DAY 4

On day 5 I kept sanding and when it did not work I decided to make another one. When I went to lazer cut there was a huge line for the cutter so I decided to make a logo for my baseball helmet and currently I am waiting in line for the lazer cutter ..
