Building it: The model

I'm building both a small plastic model of Skypad apartments, and the concrete forms for the legs of the full scale version.

Sometimes a thousand dollar project starts as a back of the envelope diagram like this. My version of the jetsons model started with the quick sketch from an image of Skypad Apartments from the internet. The numbers were measured from a small image and scaled into a variety of units.

The plastic is red -a color of plastic I happen to have an excess of.

At a rough estimate, the Jetson's home has 48 windows. Here is my master protractor with 48 radial marks.
