modelmaking skills
i should have thought of looking at a modelmaking manual a little earlier
norman trudeaus's 'professional modelmaking' is a concise little book that i must show to noe. it contains five pages on using foam board which would have been a very useful handout for many in the 2003 intake. it does however contain the error that wood is best stuck together after scratching up the surfaces
'designing with models' by criss mills on the other hand, although adequately informative about the materials and techniques of construction suddenly morphs halfway through into a manual of arbitrary and lunatic 'manipulations' that have no doubt contributed to the spread of the modernist psychosis
