Hi,
I've been watching Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and figured it would be nice to try and replicate the Obelisk/Diviner from Season 2 of the show.
I noticed this post from February and had a go at reproducing it in cardstock.
Pretty easy to unfold the STL and generate the required net, which I then scaled up and you can see a photo of my effort on that thread.
I noticed a couple of faces on that STL didn't quite match with the shots I could see from the various images i could find in Google.
So I started again.
Only, I'm terrible with 3d computer modeling.
I ended up building an actual "wireframe" using bamboo skewers and Blu-Tac. Don't laugh, it worked.
This was here's my second attempt, which ended up being about 15inches tall.
It's got what I believe to be the right number of faces/vertices.
Since building that I ordered a few sheets of platinum shimmer card of eBay, cut the model apart and rebuilt it.
The sun was shining at the weekend, so I took a few photos to show off the reflective surfaces.
The rest are on my Facebook album.
I know some of the dimensions are not right, 15 inches tall sounds too big for starters.
While the base is "ok", I think it could be a little wider, which then affects placement of all the other faces going up to the top.
I also think the angles of the faces in relation to one another aren't quite right.
So in my mind it's "adequate" since it's not 100% accurate.
With that in mind, would anyone be interested if I posted the plans so you could make your own?
