REPORT on University project nr.1.

So , I know most of you probably have seen this but :D no matter that I gonna post them here as there could be also some people that have missed this :D , but would still like to know what the hell I am doing in my course :D... Well so , ye the first project (well it was 1 month ago...... ... .. . . .. ) was to make a wooden train, from prepared plans- so we didnt have to do any thinkking , jsut cut out the shapes and parts drawn on the paper like this:

 So ye that was kinda easy , but the project meaning was for us to understand how to read these types of drawing , and just to make , the train so it looks just like in the plan !
Well one thing the plan doesn't show is color :) , so thats what we had to decide ...  I was thinking a lot about what color scheme I want to use... sadly I was very restricted to paints and brushes and stuff , because I didnt have my hobby stuff here , YET ! ... so I had to do with one single brush and 5 color tubes :).., So I came upo with something like this... :

I had actually used this color scheme and style before so I kinda knew what I am doing , and how it will look when finished ... kinda :P ... anyway because I knew how to do it , it was easier ... Well just to be clear I did it with standard brush , not with an airbrush :( cuz with airbrush its probably easier , but I dont have airbrush :P )

So Ye I cut all the pieces ,spend a lot of time sanding them and making sure they are smooth and likeable to touch ( well that all went for nothing , cuz after applying color primer the surface became rough :( .... ye I know it makes sense, thats why the primer is applied so that the surface has a better grip to the color , d'oh !

Anyway , so I did a mistake I guess , that I actually glued all the train together before painting it ... Well not the weels , though... so that made the painting harder , but actually I knew what I was doing , because I wanted to know how it looks all together , and then paint it as a whole! . 

So ye ,here is what the final project looks like :

  Well you probably noticed ( well probably not!) but there are some extra details on the train :) , all the yellow parts are my additions to the initial train :)... I did a lot of research of how to make the rod thing work ,and it was kinda complicated , cuz I had to be very precise about the holes and axis  and all , cuz the slightest offset meant that it wount work :( .. Luckily in the end it worked ,and all turned out pretty perfect :) , well we all know that nothings perfect , though :D... had I more time , I would have worked more on the paint job to make it more smooth :)  ... Anyway I am lucky how it turned out.., It works so that is the most important part , and it looks impressive :)

So here are some videos to show HOW it works ! :D the yellow rods and cylinder . 

This is actually my youtube video , its a time lapse of me painting the train... and ye I guess its a bit too fast :P ... :D

Ok and here is like the second part of the project we had to do , to pass this module ...

Its something like an obelisk from blue foam , thats on the top , and just cut out different wooden shapes on the band-saw and use just the workshops machinery -thats under the blue thing :P  .. it had to look like this... and that is how it looks like....

 Ok , so here you go :) , some information to read and see !

I gonna be back really soon with my report on the second project , cuz ye well its actually done , so all I have to do is take picture of it ... :)

Again if you have any questions or comments , please , please , feel free to post them, cuz comments always encourages me to write more, cuz they kinda approve that somebody actually spends their time reading this :D ... And I appreciate that ... So thanks for reading / watching :D
