Log 31 (5/24-5/28)

Last thursday was our fine bomby night in may. The presentation went great. The people really loved our project and the model turned out great. People from the NJMSC Sea Grant came over and liked our project enough to want to display it somewhere.

I hope to get the majority of the model done by friday. That is all I have to say.

Log 29 (4/26-4/30)

This week was very productive. As of this week we have the base of our model painted entirely. We have the ocean painted a blue-green and with recent instruction we will paint it lighter near the shoreline. We have borders painted black and they are raised so that we can pour our plastic water to replicate the marina waters. Next week we hope to start laying down grass mats.

Log 28A (4/19-4/23)

This week as far as the construction process, I plan on working on the contour lines and sloping of the land. Also, I want to finish up with painting the wood pieces as well. These wood pieces include the docking, houses and land.

Log 27B (4/12-4/16)

This week was very productive. We cut out the land around the docks with a piece of plywood. My partner, AM, and I have so far the docking, the land, and the buildings complete for our model. Our next process is most likely the contours of the land. We will do this by layering pieces of wood.
