vacumforming yay

today i finally got my clock vacuumed after i stuck on the layers there are before and after photos too.
although i did run into a problem that made me very anxious while my clock was being vacuumed formed. which was that i had net made all my layers the exact same shape but there was only minor consequence's luck for me as now i have a line on the top part of my clock but that inspired me to do a banana so now my clock is a panda/dog/nijia. which i think is quite original!  i worked fairly well as at the start of the lesson i had to also glue all the layers on  so now my clock is pretty much done accept that i have to paint over the weekend the final picture will be on my next bog. Don't forget to check out my photos at the bottom
