Presenting: The FIREFLY7080
Finally completed the physical model of the spacecraft today!
Here is the beautiful product next to its original sketch!
I had first created the bottom portion by cutting and sanding down a styrofoam ball. Then, in order to make it appear more metallic, I had used tin foil to wrap it around the shape. In fact, the tin foil material texture makes an appearance on some actual spacecrafts.
I then painted it a brown-bronze color with acrylic paint. I had used little pieces of broken technology to add some other details to it. I had put a bottle cap and an empty film container for the top part. A paper disk is put on the top to act as a satellite and a wire with blue paper and hot glue is used to make the solar panels.
I am excited to do my final shot with this small model! With the right lighting and placement, it should look like a real space ship.
