Critical Review

Critical Review - As seen in my previous blog post the 1:1 Motorbike tank proved a success but also instantly proved to be the most difficult. As the shape required the implementation of multiple techniques due to its non-uniform shape. Through a short personal reflection on the resulting piece, I aim to identify its strengths and weaknesses, as well as an alternative approach to the fabrication process. Strengths: Prior knowledge By understanding basic fabrication techniques and how to apply them to achieve specific shapes, it made it a lot easier to plan and combine these techniques to create a non-linear shape. Previous work from Assignment 1 The Torus's shape The torus indentation was truly the highlight of the piece, whereby it had a uniform curvature but also had a narrow starting point and gradually widened and flattened out around the front end of the tank. Torus curvature Only one piece of metal As seen in the pictures the side piece of the t
