Camera

I've been thinking about getting a DSLR or bridge camera for some time now and my camera broke last week, I think it's a key item I think I should have really, for taking photos of my work and just captiuring things out and about, I didn't really have the funds to invest in a proper SLR with the cost of adding lenses, so I bought a Fujifilm FinePix S2960 because it didn't seem to be too much more expensive than just replacing my little digital one outright. 

Turns out it looks like a pretty good buy, seems to have good quality macro, shoots film and has a setting which means the user doesn't have to pick the correct setting, the camera does it all for you so its good for beginners as well as having adjustable settings.

So here's a few photos!

Rover, final model.

This is my final model showing my Rover dog care system in situ, the base is foam core board cut into a circle topped with fake grass, used for scale train sets. The blue sections (frames) are all laser cut, as are the columns,front plates, people, and dogs within each booth. The frames sandwich a section of car body repair mesh hot glue gunned in place, used within the service to allow airflow and separate each dog.

The back panels were also laser cut and painted and the Rover brand applied using vinyl, towards the end of my project i was a bit worried about the crispness of the model but, i think the vinyl really brought it all together nicely. The shade on each booth were made by just cutting canvas material to size and gluing across the edges of each frame welding wire was added to the end to form a handle for each.
