Hello all, and welcome to yet another oh so nooby thread with your host, bobbio555. This week a new project was assigned to us in design and tech, to make a car out of 25 cm X 25 cm of hardboard, 2 61 cm X 1 cm long sticks, some hot glue, and some pop cans as wheels. So, having brought my treasured Halo Encyclopedia to school (gotta love it 
) I grabbed it, and began planning out how I would go about creating a mini hog. This will be somewhat of a tutorial, but mostly it's just a step by step demonstration of what I've done to create the hog.
Step 1 (Planning): So, my plan is, make a super low detail model of a warthog, unfold it in pepakura, print it out, glue the paper to the hardboard, and cut out the pieces using the saw thingy (I have no idea what any of the power tools are called :S) So I began making the 3D model in google sketchup.
That is as far as I got. Google sketchup is fine for the most part, except for the constant rotating of parts to make them face the right direction.
So I downloaded the warthog pep off of the costuming wiki, and took off all the stuff I'll be using sticks for.
Step 2 is getting permission, which, due to the fact that we had a substitute, I was unable to obtain, although I'm sure that the aesthetic is not something which must abide to the rules set in place for the project. Unfortunately, the next time that our class has D&T is on day 3, so you'll have to wait until Monday for further updates. Until then, peace out dawgs.
