Final Model
Posted about The Big Ice Cream and Fruit by Lily

I added the base to the bottom to secure the model and put all of the pieces together to give the final shape of an open ice cream shop.

Second half of final model
Posted about The Big Ice Cream and Fruit by Lily

I have made the second half of the invention similarly to the first. I made the box and covered the flooring in the tissue paper. I then used a vinyl I made in illustrator for the logo on the back wall to give it a bit more colour and make it look more interesting. I also added a little ice cream neon sign on the side to add a bit of light into the model and make it seem a bit cooler. I made the tables out of the same clay as the ice cream along with lollipop sticks for the stands. I then made the seats from some old corks that I had spray painted white to make them seem like little stools. I also made the trees out of dyed art straws and green tissue paper to give it that loose leaf look.

Beginning final model
Posted about The Big Ice Cream and Fruit by Lily

I started by making the first half of the ice cream and fruit invention with it looking almost like an ice cream shop mixed with Willy wonkas factory. I made a counter and then modelled some piles of ice cream out of clay and painted them to make them seem a bit more realistic and added a hot glue border to make it seem a bit neater. I then made the ice cream machine and covered it in tin foil to create the metallic futuristic type look. I then connected the machine to the ice cream with silicone tubing filled with coloured piping gel to give the look that the machine is pumping ice cream into the counter ready to be eaten.
