so what kind of crap does arin do at school all day?

Many of you have noticed my sudden drop in posts... This is because much of my time is now spent actually doing schoolwork

i know, this may seem shocking to many of you, who all thought all I'd ever do is make stupid posts on this forum. Worry not though, I shall never stop making stupid posts here

So anyway, for my model making class, we had to design, draft and then make a Teapot out of polyurethane foam. I know, teapots are not exciting, but we have to start small before we design supercars right?

anyhow, we were all given a famous designer, and our teapot had to be influenced by his/her style, such that it would be plausible for our designer to have made our teapot.

I was assigned Jorn Utzon, the guy who did the sydney opera house. Let me know if you guys think it looks like it was influenced by the opera house at all. I think it does


also, its **** ugly right now. We only had to have the rough cuts done by today, so I'll be cleaning it up in the comind weeks

alas, pichas:

Sydney opera house:


Teapot:

I also noticed that, and thought it was good, because the opera house always reminded me of sharks anyway

it will also be painted DHG

Well the great white shark is synonymous with Opera. Kidding. But it is very much a part of Australia.

yeah, very much. Like i said, these were just the rough cuts

also, I did this with a hacksaw and a dremel, because I cant go use the school shop this late at night. Every one elses' will have been cut with a bandsaw or table saw but once its done, mine will reign supreme...

It's good that it is not a caron copy of the Opera House, it mimicks it. That's what you want. Also you should live closer Arin, I've got a band saw, table saw, mitre saw, jigsaw, skil saw, sawzall, and just about any other saw you could ever think of.
