Me and Tom met up early before the lesson to spend time putting our work together it took us about 2 hours but we finally managed to produce the image shown above. It was then a case of speaking to Kevin and Teresa to then add there work to the model.
Finding out about the other members work
We had all set a time line for this Friday to have all the modeling completed giving us enough time to work on animation and setting up the environment and textures as well as the final presentation.
Kevin had successfully created the wheel for the pump and it was looking awesome, he has spent allot of time working with different ways to make the cut out segments look good and creating the lip around the wheel. It was the correct size and fit on the model perfectly.
Teresa had only finished one part of her modeling and still needed to complete her main part, she was trying hard but in my opinion she had spent far too long researching the machine. Ill give her credit she managed to find some amazing information that really helped the group and will make us stand out from the others who are building the same model.
But due to this she had little time to model, so I gave her only a small amount making her able to cope. But she was unhappy with this and asked for more during that week. Upon speaking to her on the Friday she then told me there was too much to do, so I ended up taking more modeling off her. This was an easy mistake to make as she did not want it to seem like she had not done her fair share, but at the same time it slowed down the project as I could have got it done and ready for the Friday.

Here is how the work looked at the end of today's lesson, the only piece that is missing is the silver piece on the side containing the intake and outtake. This part has allot of pipes and dials coming from it, so it might take me a while as I know that I will spent ages making it look as good as I can with the detail.
Conclusion
But overall we got all of it sorted, I now need to complete the last bit of the model and then get it sent off to Tom and Kevin who can then start to animate it and texture it.
I have found working in the group quite hard because some group members argued allot about modeling and the amount of work that was set, so I found it really frustrating. I also was told in the beginning that I was suppose to be doing all the modeling, which I felt was quite unfair but in the end I completed most of the modeling for the group. I am happy with the work I created and has given me allot to document, really making me feel a valuable part of the group.
