Splash Tub to get a wet experience

This is a tub you would like to relax in when out of swimming pool. Well I think it is a bit awkwardly designed that hinders the comfort level, but a fun element that can be placed besides poolside. Designer Michael L. Wendel’s chair is sculpted at 1/8th scale using Sculpey clay. From there, the model is cut into ¼ inch slices. These slices were scanned, blown up to full scale, and plotted to be used as a template for the full scale model. From there, the templates were adhered to 2 inch pink insulation foam, cut out, and assembled to the full scale form. Countless hours of sanding later, the form is coated in 4 coats of Elmer’s glue to protect the foam from resin. After the glue is dried, the form is sprayed with chopped fiberglass using a chopper gun. Once dried, the fiberglass is sanded down, then coated with Bondo. After sanding the Bondo as smooth as possible, it is painted with high epoxy glossy white paint.
