ID Practice : Triplex Model shoe

We were required to create three seperate 1:1 scale models of a footwearitem of our choice 
Brief 1 - Full shoe brief 2 section and brief 3 mould . 
The modeling of the shoe required us to pay close attention to detail ,
this was my first time working with the triplex material , However i learnt how to 
manipulate the material into certain positions and shapes . 
Brief 1 - The brief was to create a Triplex Model identical to the one of the footwear item of our choice .This had been my first time working with Triplex Material However I tried my utmost best to complete the Triplex shoe I learnt new things as the model came together I applied detail to where it was most needed ,however I personally think the model of the shoe could have came out better if I had knowledge prior to starting the Structure of the model.
Brief 2 - we were required to make a section view of out footwear item, in this brief scale and detail were assessed and as in the images provided below I had managed to create a section model of the shoe better that the 1:1 scale model of the shoe . In this Brief I had now developed my knowledge surrounding the material and I had managed to make use of a craft knife in order to create my details on the model ,and I used a screwdriver to create the holes for the shoelaces .
Brief 3 - In this final brief we were required to create one halve of the a mould for our footwear item , now being familiar with the material i managed to create the mould with less challenges I was able to insert support on the inner structure of the mould  ,creating the shape of the shoe was not a challenge due to hidden  support placed inside the mould However the only challenges I faced in this brief was when the sole and pattern under the shoe was being created .
These are the tools I used when creating the different models and the mould , I made use of simple and affordable tools.
