the maquette

building the maquette

In the project specifications it was specified that there should be a scale model of the project, before the team should receive a "go" from the project leaders.
So we started to build this model.
our foundation was 2 plates of multiplex glued together and then milling the upper platefor the desired form.

As you can see we are cutting the multiplex here

Here we are milling water ways in the model

Diederik busy to make the maquette look nice

And again he is polishing the maquette but now the pumping station and the sluice are in place
(please note the beer consumption rising :D)
polishing

And off course we have potatoes :D:D

You can now see the maquette painted and in some places the grass-powder has been glued to the wood

We are finished, you can see the result. The teachers were astonished...
