Model Making

I was with Frankie having a meeting in DBKL. Officer from DBKL said that the house is strange in the overall context, and stand out from the neighbourhood, though it could be a amazing piece of architecture, still in the area of "influencial people" place, a shouting architecture is not encouraged. (they wanna save themselves from trouble, one of the main reason i guess... Imagize all the Datos, Dato Seris, Tan Sris, or even PM writing to DBKL to complain about this, no one would want his job to end like this)

*heard that PM and DPM bungalows are located in Bukit Damansara, not sure true or not, lazy to confirm it.

And, there came the best part, Frankie said: We could always produce a SITE MODEL for you, and it will prove the design is absolutely in harmony with the neighbours, and in the same time it is a sustainable design, which in line with DBKL's guidelines..."

There it comes, what troubling me for almost THREE WEEKS!

I must say, it could be the most difficult ever model making in my 23 years of history on earth!

First, i took 1 week to do this...

And then, i spent another week, doing the house itself and repairing the other SMALL SMALL things, which is at 1:500 scale!!!

I have to say, I really hate the colour on my model!!!

As I mentioned, the model is at 1:500 scale, however, the boss even gets the scale ruler and argued with me over 1m of building height... If you still do not have a clear idea of 1m in 1:500 scale, it is 2mm, which is equivalant to the thickness of ONLY ONE mounting board!

The proportion of my finger to the house

On the third week, repairing this repairing that, and, I took the house off its columns and base, 6 times!!! Heartpain...

Then, came the worst part, boss said the drain in front of our site is very very very important, and, there's how he created the drain on the model...

All you need to make a drain on a site model, is a blue colour Artline 0.6, and 5 minutes of your precious time... (heart wrenching....)

Did I say I also hurted my finger?!

This, is AhBeng's precious experience on model making. If I were to make some kind of sentense making, I would choose alphabet F!
