Contouring Process

According to method 1, I pierced the model with two skewers which left these small holes and are ready for reference position use next step.I used method 1 to show the contour of my model thus by which I cut it into pieces by 5mm parallel interval among each two pieces. Following, I traced the first piece which will be the bottom piece to construct in Rhino. The scale in the scale pad is 1cm for each block, then I digitized it into Rhino.

Yellow curves above depict the curves of contours.

Since every curve was tracked and moved one upon another, it turns out relevant to loft. This method works well. And the whole structure looks much like what my clay model except for more curves on the bottom part which are due to minor transformation of clay model during contour process.
