From painting to a real model.

 

“What happens when the visionary work of a professional designer and artist meet the skills of a talented student?

This fantastic machine has been designed and prototyped at the industrial design department of SCAD Savannah, and is the result of more than 1000 hours of hard work where the ideas of visionary artist and Scad professor Guido Bottazzo have met the hands and dedication of now SCAD graduate designer Victor Gaetan Cinq-Mars.”

Guido Bottazzo

Original sketches provided by Guido Bottazzo to begin 3D modeling.

Over 2 months of back and forth design decisions were made during the 3D modeling process.

I 3D printed the parts, coated them with XTC-3D, sanded and painted each one (paint booth and airbrushed for details) and finally applied labels.

On Display

Feel free to go see it in person, the model is on display at the Gulfstream Center for Design in Savannah at SCAD.
A custom platform with over 1000 screws represent its harvesting abilities over different elevations.
Behind the piece is a backdrop which includes a complete list of its features and silhouettes of people to scale.
Thank you to Guido Bottazzo for the opportunity!
