Final Maquette

The final prototype builds on my paper model with the opening front and top.  The top will be created out of  strips of wood attached to fabric, creating a floppy hinge. This wood will sit on wooden inserts to stop it from falling in (semicircles slightly smaller than the main radius. The bottom panels will be attached similarly but will have an actual hinge on the outstanding side of the panel to allow it to fold outwards. A lock will be planed on both the top curve and the inner corner. This model was created to scale, 2:5
