Model Making – Forex Object

Starting from a small object – in my case a CD cover – I rebuilt it out of forex – a plastic material made of solidified PVC foam that can be easily cut to size. Aim of this exercise was to recreate the original object in scale 1:1 as precise as possible. First, I’ve cut the single pieces of the CD cover adding always one or two millimeters, in order that the final shape does not differ from the original one after grinding it with sandpaper. For the roundings I used heat and another shape where I put the forex stripes around. After some tryouts I grinded the surface to be glued and glued all together with superglue.
