DSDN 111 -Final model talk

Okay, so.. my final model materials are going to be :
-Metal
-Wood
-Polypropylene

I have chosen these materials because I want to explore more about them and what my limits would be. I was originally going to use white foam board but I got told to use a "REAL" material so I am using metal, wood and polypropylene.

Here is my model under construction at the moment. Here I have bought some door hinges in different sizes. They originally had holes in them so I had to fill them with special building putty and sand them down. Then now here you can see I'm up to the spray painting stage. I'm using a black gloss spray paint to make sure my metal doesn't scratch on anything.     

I decided to use door hinges because of there triangular shape and also that there is a restricted movement in the hinge so it can only go so far which is good because in the finger there is restriction and this is one way of showing that.

The hinges will be in the middle of the model and then the circular balls will be on the outside of each hinge showing that movement. Also I will make a "key" to created a rotational movement.
This will all make sense once you can see the final model. :)
