Half scale. At this telling scale I really got a grasp on how to achieve the final scale. Using the router produced many problems such as laminating the acrylic to osb for backing. In hindsight, laminating the plastic to MDF will produce a more reliable finished product. Using the cheap osb created many warps and caused chips and breaks in the pieces. Also, acrylic is somewhat brittle. After discovering polycarbonate, I believe this is a more suited material. Polycarbonate has a higher rubber content and is far more flexible. However despite the problems the form comes across quite seductively.
