while working in the workshop today and looking around the room, Brogan and I were a bit dissapointed to see alot of other groups doing a similar resort to us, and in particular one group who is pretty much copying us and keep coming over to our bench looking at what we are doing and keep asking where our materials are from. they have ended up using the exact same ideas that Brogan and I came up with at the very beginning of term such as the ring in the middle of the water as the broadwalk and water turbines under the resort as a way to create energy. we are a bit upset and dissapointed that they cant come up with their own original ideas. :(

progress

Brogan and I are making very good progress with our resort, and we have stepped it up another step to worker harder and faster during class since time is running out. Here is a picture of the roofs for the bungalows that i had to make at home due to lack of time.

today's lesson

in todays lesson there were a number of students away because of QG but luckily my partner and I were both there for the class so we could continue with the making of our resort. Today we finished glueing the bungalows together using the hot glue gun and finished decking the bases for the bungalows using paddlepop sticks. we have now begun glueing match sticks together on each wall of the bungalows to create a bamboo looking affect. i will post a photo on friday of our progress.

our resort

this week we have begun our project in the workshop and it is coming along well. we have cut and glue down a piece of wood which was stuck on top of the base indicating the land/shore. we are currently in the process of creating the boadwalk for our bungalows. today i started glueing on paddlepop sticks to create a timber effect like Bora Bora. this weeked im going to go to the shops and start looking for our materials for our project such as fake grass and trees, hay for bungalow roofs and timber decking paint.
