DesignIntentTo create an ice cream scoop with a sleek, innovativedesign. A scoop that can be heldeasily and yet has a classic look thatpenetrates through time.
ResearchInspirationI was inspired by the curvy, classic look of sports cars. In addition I took into consideration objects that were split such as a nutcracker. Green and red chilli peppers gave me inspiration to slightly cureve my lines and use a deep red color as my finish.

ClaySidesPut clay around the edges to ensure not leaks from the pouring the gel mold.
MoldingProcessMixed and poured molding gel over the top half of the wooden mold and then waited for six hours to harden. Next I placed the full wood-en mold in the first gel half, poured the molding gel over and wait-ed another six hours to harden. After peeling both gel molds apart, I clamped them together and prepared the plastic resin to pour into the gell mold. Waited for sixteen hours for the plastic to harden and had a minor leak. Sanded and and used Bondo to seal air bubbles and access scratches.
SandForming
Priming&PaintingPrimed and sanded scratches out five times. Each time, waiting one hour for the primer to settle. After all the priming was done, I used the maroon car paint three times and sanded inbetween each coat.
