Found Object Model

Part of the requirements for our skyscraper is to model the tower out of found objects. This includes anything out of metal or plastic that we can take apart from its original form. So far, a group of us have scavenged the hills of junk metal in Ottawa for anything of apparent value for our models. I picked up a 60 lb engine block as one potential unit to take apart, as well as a number of parts from car transmissions, a couple head-lights, a gas tank and a gear shift. This all probably sounds mad at first, but as the model develops, you'll see how the tower will come together. It turns into a three-dimensional collage.
