[Back]
Before moving onto building the live-sized model, I first created a maquette of my design to get into grips with 3D appearance. This produces a base point for the materials I would need for the live model (e.g what would be suitable to make the sphere out of, and what materials would best support the overall sphere)
At this point the widgets proved to be difficult to come up with. However the type of gadgets I am able to attach onto them remains flexible.
The "hemisphere" would either be made out of sheets of plastic to make them lightweight or alternatively thinner MDF to compensate.

Solid buttons/switches will be attached directly onto the sphere.
Plastic and metal tubes and wires would act as the connectives.
The stands will be made using strong plastic tubes attached onto the wooden "hemisphere".
Most of the model will be made out of MDF.
The size of the sphere still proved to be a challenge at this stage.
