Activity 6: Cutting Styrene Questions

Good morning!

I am not here today and a sub will be covering for me. Please be respectful and follow any directions you are given even if they are a little different that how I would ask. Being a sub is hard work and we need to appreciate their help.

Today, you are going to work respond to these questions based on the Eric Strebel video in the Part 3 section of Project 10. Respond to these questions in a Word file and upload that file to teams when you are done.

1. In what shapes can you purchase styrene?
2. Where can you purchase styrene?
3. What is interesting and useful about most styrene tubing?
4. What is one suppler of styrene stock?
5. What are hobby models made from?
6. What glues work well for styrene?
7. How can you bond PVC to styrene?
8. What technique for glue application does Strebel use?
9. What type of cutting tools does Strebel use?
10. How does styrene solvent weld work?

Tabletop Gaming

Tabletop gaming is an interesting area of model making. Many of the techniques from model railroading have taken root in this genre. What is tabletop gaming modeling? It's the creation of miniature models for games like Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, . The inclusion of models enhances game play and makes the fantasy world of these games more immersive. You can see from the enthusiasm of the community that this style of model making is very much alive and well. I particularly like that it's a model genre that yields impressive results with a minimum number of tools and supplies. Much of the raw stock for these kinds of models is junk or cast-off pieces. We will see some interesting examples later on. To start out with, I would like to share a few articles that I think would explore this type of model making in more detail.

Project 4: Florence Cathedral

Rising 376 feet above the streets of Florence, the amazing red brick dome designed by Flilipo Brunelleschi is as much an architectural marvel when it was finished in 1436 as it is today. The ribbed octagonal dome and strong graphical use of marble makes this building stand out in the Florence skyline. Our paper model is not nearly as large, but still as beautiful. For this activity, build this paper model of Florence's cathedral. You will find the sheet and all the necessary supplies in your SMM kit. Also, enjoy these videos about the cathedral the importance of working with easy and inexpensive materials for model making. Paper Modeling Skills About the Dome

Inspiration: Book Nooks

I don't know if you have ever heard of these, but I think that book nooks are really cool and an excellent way to do dioramas without devoting a ton of space to them.
