Model Restoration – Week 7

January 27-30, 2025

We are starting the week with a provisional assembly of the roofs to get a more precise idea of the model’s length. The roofs are the only parts we have that provide the exact measurements of the model.

We are locating and assembling the balcony floors for the side kiosks. We are also determining the purpose of other pieces.

Nicolas Godelet is assisting us in placing the friezes depicting animals in accordance with Chinese symbolism.

Nicolas is drawing the placement of the friezes and the missing pieces.

Gwenaëlle has provided us with a door sample. Together, we have decided to divide the doors into three parts (a lintel and two doors), as can be observed in the reference photo. The vectorization of the central doors is now commencing.

The balcony floors have been completed.
