My control panel is developing steadily. We've recently screwed the two halves of the sphere together with wing bolts and attached it onto two steel rods for it to revolve around the circular frame.
At the moment I have started to paint a section of it (dark "Dramatic" blue for the sphere so that the metallics would stand out) and experiment with colours that are available to see what would work. I was thinking of using complimentary colours for the frame and the stand, preferably bold colours that would stand out from afar.
I will need to attach more accesories onto it such as pipes, wires, glass tubes and buttons, but I'm having difficulty with sticking the metal plates onto the sphere fearing it might be too heavy for it to spin.
Overall, the construction is going good so far. I will need to photograph the process for evidence.
This blog is a record of my research, progress, photographs and descriptions of my work. It includes written elements that are essential for my sketchbook and for the benefit of the examiners' understanding. I will continue to update it as often as I can throughout the project or even adding more segments of information that I might have previously missed. Pictures uploaded onto the posts can be full-viewed by clicking on the image link.
