Building Our First Models

These are roughly 1/16th scale models. Made out of materials I had laying around the apartment.

Parts List

1. Balsa Wood Sheet 1/8" thick.
2. X-Acto Knife
3. Super Glue
4. DAS Clay 

Quick Model (3 Layers)

Tapered Blank For Casting

DAS Clay Cast

All Parts Used

Take Aways

TriBlocks would be better cast/made with something like plaster of paris instead of DAS clay. The clay I had was paper based and doesn't form into the corners well. See the image below for reference. 

That's not good. :(

I've uploaded the Sketchup files to Thingiverse. Anyone feel like making the STL files?
