3D LETTERS!

I saw this project, and I didnt know what to make of it, I thought it was going to be like summer project... But this time, I had the materials for it! A whole bunch of them! RAILCARDS!

Its a kind of recycling so, in retrospect, I am doing the world a favour! aha

Anyhow, With these little things, I needed to fit the set dimensions given by Andy, my letter has to 30cms tall in length! bearing that in mind, I was able to calculate how many cards Id need to stack on top of each other in order to achieve my goal.

So, I stacked them up like a house of cards, and instead of using masking tape to hold them in place, I used glue, the masking tape kept falling apart and would hold the shape right. But with glue, it did! for extra support, I glued the base cards on some more cards, this was to give it traction and strengthen the overall structure when it is completed, instead of collapsing.


After a night of construction, this was the outcome. I am so pleased with it! The shape and dynamics of the letter to the angle i positioned it at. I believe this was successful!
