After spraypainting the card, and filing down the bolts, I'm finally ready to assemble the project for the first time!
I've left the last protective layer on the acrylic, because I want to ensure that it won't get damaged before I take my photos and before I hand it in.
I'm really really pleased with how it looks. Sadly the bolts are aever so slightly too long, so I'll need to trim the ends off with a hacksaw. Not a problem.
It looks really clever having the negative space in the acrylic transition to the positive space in the card. It's very effective, and I think will really carry across the idea that my model is frozen for a brief instant in the materials before it carries along its way.
I especially like the way the light shatters through the acrylic and shows the curves of the internal spaces as they loop around each other.
