Unit 4/80 - Work Experience

Introduction

We were asked by the M.O.D, in association with Wiltshire college, to create a 3D model of a piece of equipment used in the army, the name for this being the so called "FireStorm". We were not informed as of what this piece of equipment does, however from an outside view, it very much looks like some sort of thermal binoculars.

Due to there not being a suitable amount of pictorial references, it was very difficult to create an accurate model that was to real life scale. We were given measurements for certain parts, however, as this was not given for all the main details, it was easier to create the object "by eye".
