epic failure

























































as the topic surgest this is an epic failure. i tried to make my mockup out xenita board as i had never used it in large scale before. when i removed the top cut out the outer card wanted to bend which made my whole model collapse. bother! but i see everything as a learning opotunity so here is what i learnt.
-removing material from the seat pan is a very bad idea
-using a heat gun helps removing the top vaners
-locking systems should be in line with the ground and should use the persons weight to keep parts together-
-radiuses are easier to make avoid chamfers when possible
-less curves are better
-using gravity and the spring of the material to hold everything together is a very bad idea.
