Museum Of Power - Group Project

I was allocated the tasks of collecting all needed information on the boiler pump, along with creating the small end of the pump where the steam exits.

I started off by making the indented top of the pump complete with the four nuts and bolts.
In order to make the indented top, I had to select the required amount of faces from the editable poly modifier and use extrude to pull them down a small amount. However, I noticed from the reference images that the four corners of the indented top were rounded and not square, to make them rounded I selected the edge modifier from within editable poly, selected the inside edge, and pulled it in slightly. I did this for the remaining three and then added a turbosmooth to make the edges nice and smooth!



I then continued modelling the rest of the pump. Below are a few pictures of the pump so far. Once the modelling is complete, I will add textures to it to make it more realistic.
