Wax models

I made these two models for the bluetooth. Though they are pretty, please ignore the colors of the models. The finished pieces will either be metal or resin, and the color (if they are resin) is still pretty undefined. The blue one was the first one that I made, after the sketch of the one that looks a bit like a shield, and it came out looking maybe a little too sharp/aggressive (though compared to the green one it might be more elegant). Unfortunately it turned out too narrow in the end to fit the bluetooth board inside it, so I made a second one, which I tried to make a bit more like the drawing, and also made sure would fit the electronics inside it. It came out a little lopsided, as I can't seem to saw straight, but I think it makes it look pretty good. Still not sure which one I like though. I will take some photos with the reed switch tomorrow, see how it looks as a whole.

I also started on the case for the locket, but just the back part of it, that's going to hold the battery and the screen. I wanted it to be convex from the back, so that it feels nicer. Still need to work on making it a little more oval (or round).
