Drawing problems


I have now recieved my drawings from Designer, David Turpin. Unfortunately he has sent me more of a 3D model rather than a set of technical drawings, this means I cannot work out the size of the mobile phone without spending quite a lot of times manually creating points to work from. I e-mailed him earlier today and he has sent me a list of formats he has the drawing in. I will be having a meeting with my tutor tomorrow to work out what format will give me the most information on size and shape.
I will update my blog as soon as I have obtained more useful drawings.

I have decided to produce a prototype model of a mobile phone designed by David Turpin - http://www.davidturpin.fr/. This will account of half of my FMP, I chose this design due to its fantastic, ergonomic shape. It fits well into todays sophisticated technology and will look great at our end of year exhibition in London. I will be producing the model at 1:1 scale and feel this will promote my skills and understanding of the modelmaking industry.
