I get the feeling that most people don’t understand how much time and effort goes into the creation of a Clever Models kit.
Over the next week or so I’m going to share the steps I’m taking to realise a model of the Wood’s mill. It starts with finding the structure and taking dozens of photos. I also do a follow up web search to see if there are earlier historic images.
The 3 bars in the first pic are rough measurment rules. Along with measurments made on location, I can move on to making a low detail 3D model.
Flne detail is added later. This model confirms my extrapolated measurments and a pleasing proportion. I’m also starting to think about the engineering on how the model will go together.
I check the model through the softwares’ camera against several photos and from all angles to make sure everything fits before exporting to the unwrapping software.
That’s all for now, approx. 2 days invested.
