Final Model process photos

Forgot to take process photos. Model looks sick though!

Had an issue with the spring supplier but other than that she went together with no problems.
Stood up to the heavy handed Ant Nevin tests. No worries

Model tests



Frosted Acrylic with white light test (Success)

Attempt to get printed Acetate to glow (Fail)

Lighting frosted clear acrylic with a magenta LED, Seemed promising, but the nature of rastering meant it was either 100% or 0% tone with no transparency level so we had to write this idea off.

Testing the stacked image with a single (average) light source from behind
