Making Of Wooden Panels (Update #2)

First of all, happy candy day! (a.k.a, Holloween...)

Dropped by at hobby shop today to see if I can get any supplies for the wooden panels for the wall. Unfortunately, there were no right size for me. Well, time for DIY:

The main tool I will be using is BMC 0.15mm chisel, along with few supporting tools such as needle and ruler for the basic line scrap.

First, here is the measurement, the width of each cell is 0.5cm wide.

Then draw lines across and scrap along it :

Set Design Project...?

Thinking of doing something different this time, instead of making a mecha model, I decided to do a set design model. So I took out Makoto Shinkai's reference book I got earlier this year:

which contains references for Byousoku 5cm, Beyond The Clouds, Voice Of Distant Stars and one of his Short animation for a morning newspaper in Japan.

(Camera is out of battery...)

Flipped few pages, then I decided to do a set design on this scene from Byousoku 5cm:

Since is not too complicated, I think it should be a good challenge for me to test my skills.

A better look:

Gonna do some drawing and see how the scale is going to be in the following days, hopefully I can start by end of the week, treat it as the project in November!
