Final Model Making

So as I said in the last post, I needed to finish my final prototype model for yesterday (29th June).
Needless to say it has been a stressful week and Friday was a crazy rush to get things organised and wrapped in bubble wrap to protect them for the drive down. 
The stress was worth it, as the model is now finished! :D


Here are a few of the photos showing some of the processes that I went though in the final stages of model making (I said a few, but it might be quite picture heavy)!

 In the spray booth

 Orange parts sprayed and final touches of filler on the body

 The table part sprayed and nearly finished

 I decided I had to make a base that would hold a parasol, I also made it so I could fill it with sand!

 Dwayne from the apprentice was in the workshop developing some products so thought I would take the opportunity to get a photo

 The body sprayed and sticking on the seal

 The base for the umbrella fully made, just needed spraying

 The base needed to be taped off so that the grey front could be sprayed without covering the white

 The grey part sprayed

 This shows the tape removed, with only a few minor parts to touch up

 I painted the inserts that I had 3D printed and stuck them on to the body

 All the inserts fully stuck

 I used a jig to drill holes into the wings and the top to secure them together

 All secured

 The fully assembled table top

 I then cut out the silicone sheet for the non slip mat

 This is the final model fully arranged and on the pole!

The umbrella up, and all the model fully put together!

I will take a final photograph when the model is up at the show to get the full effect, but overall I am happy with the end result!

And comments would be great, and once again, thanks for reading!
