final model

I am not a model person and this was a pain to do, but I really like the idea, and my parents (who leave on Tuesday) actually loved the model. My dad says it reminds him of a Bany@n tree, which I've been obsessed with all my life, as it is a tree that signifies both life and death in Hindu!sm (it's supposed to hold the souls of the dead, but also springs life as a tree). So that's interesting. I also made the roof near the front have a bit more height and it slopes down, and the portholes are now circles (both in the first floor glass area and to get from the glass area to the top level) instead of squares, and the form became less geometric and more organic, because I thought it would mimic a canopy better than a geometric shape.
Anyways....
