Decision Made

I have come to a decision on what to make for my FMP.
I intend to make a working scale model of Baron von Drais' 'Laufmaschine' (1816) - the first official form of two-wheeled, human-propelled transport that led, through development, to the evolution of the chain driven bicycle.

I will make the model in the context of a museum piece with a view to it being on display in a museum of transport or, more specifically, cycling and non-motorised methods of travel.

I hope to make it exactly as it would have been, only at a smaller scale - 1:3 or 1:4 would be preferable.

On a further note, I have been approached by Paul Johnson (course leader) to do two week's work experience in London for a design company making models of exhibits for a museum/gallery exhibition which, I have accepted.
This will limit, somewhat, the amount I will be able to submit as it'll reduce my planning and making time by about 12 days in total.
I feel I am capable of making my Laufmaschine model in a fairly short period but am aware that as there are no plans and very few drawings of the original, I will need to produce a full set of working drawings to be able to make a successful model.
If I complete my model by the deadline, as I intend to, then I will be able to attempt the two-week short project after Easter. This might be a figure sculpt, possibly a larger scale reproduction of the Django Reinhardt sculpt I did in first year, an insect or maybe a game/film character piece.
