YEAR 3 WEEK 2 – Chasing lost time



Following on from last week I’m still trying to finish the concept. The part that is holding me back now is the saw motor, how it will look and trying to show how it will fit around the drum mag. My tutor pointed out to me as well, that I need to think about how all these different parts are being held together.

I was told that I need to start modelling on the Monday to make up for lost time from spending too much time on the concept.

I modelled the shotgun first as I had the most references for this part. It also help to model this part first as it was the centre of the object and all the other parts would then be add onto the gun.

Tried to model shotgun pump handle found it a little trick to model, so moved onto the drum mag. After the drum mag was done I tried to go back to the shotgun pump handle but still finding it a little hard to look right. I decide to leave it and move onto the saw motor. This I found to be harder to model then the pump handle because I really had nothing to help me I was working in the blind and trying to rush to try and make up for lost time.

Doing this put me behind more. At the end of the week I only had the shotgun and drum mag done and with only a week left I was told that it would be a good idea to take away some parts of the gun to get myself back on track for the deadline of next week but I still need the saw motor.

To make sure I tried to not waste any more time on the saw motor. I stop and think more about how it could work and I came up with the idea of a chainsaw that is link to the saw blade and that is how it would spin. I made a quick moodboard of chainsaws and used the motor off one of them. With all the new reference I was able to model that look like a motor.

This week I’ve keep trying to just rush into modelling more hard and complex models without think about how I should be really doing them. This has made me waste time when I had no time to waste in the first place. In the future I need to stop and think more and if have to take a step back or 2
