Bouncy Hills

The huge cat litter hills from the model are now being put into the factory but are obviously not made from cat litter this time. To save money the hills are going to be made up of a combination of shipping containers, hay, decking and soil, apparently soil is expensive. I made a contour map based on our hills of cat litter in the model and then proceeded to figure out how many shipping containers could fit underneath it, tweaking the hills to make them slightly larger or smaller in certain areas.

The shipping containers started coming in and over the next few days the "big strong boys" as Sam calls them have started building them up with hay and soil. Us Design Brains climbed one the finished hills yesterday and found that the top was very bouncy if you jump on it, we're guessing that's the roof of the shipping container underneath us. We've been told it's safe but if you come to the show i wouldn't recommend using it a bouncy castle.

Once all the hills are made there will be a final layer of soil added on top which will be a more precise colour, texture and grain, To get the effect of the land we want that fits in with the opera.
