Update #2: Producing the 1/4 scale model
First off, a shout out to all the new donors in the last couple weeks. We are now at about 33% funding! And please continue to spread the word: http://kck.st/9Fy7DF
Below are some new pictures: first, we have the final rendered 3D model. Directly from this design, we will be printing the panels in the upcoming weeks which will clad the exterior body of the horse -- so that it will look perfectly like this very digital model.
Also, we have begun the actual fabrication process for the internal structure. The legwork was much more complicated than we originally anticipated and we have turned towards working with our friend and fabricator, Rob Bell, to assist with making the structure.
The challenge was to make something that was structurally sound, easy to assemble/disassemble and most importantly, to hold hundreds of 3D panels to form a precise exterior cladding. We ended up doing some intense designs in Sketchup and this week, we are producing a 1/4 scale model from wood, using Rob's Shopbot -- a computer-cutting device from 3D forms.
We're continuing to spread the word and talk about the amazing upcoming 01SJ Biennial (http://01sj.org) We did a great talk at ZSALON last week and have one coming next week at dorkbot in San Francisco (http://www.dorkbot.org/dorkbotsf/)
