With this prototype, you will be testing paint colors, window sizes,
some perspective, light placement, practice cutting the materials, and
skyscraper details. I made my prototype to be approx 1 foot square and
used some of the window sizes that I knew I would be using. In addition,
it had the beginnings of an Empire State building on the top.
Some of the things I learned from this: 1) Natural wood color would look
very warm and artistic, but also looked a lot like a jack-o-lantern.
2) I could not build an Empire State building that looked good simply
by free-hand drawing the pieces. Calculated CAD work was called for
instead. 3) The smallest windows would need to be punched out because
no jigsaw blade is small enough to cut out a 1/8" window.
