Ranunculus - Planning & Construction
Project Overview
Ranunculus flowers feature stunning, densely layered petals creating a rose-like appearance with depth and texture. The multiple thin petal layers present significant construction challenges at miniature scale.
Current Status: Active Construction
This is one of the more advanced builds in the collection, with extensive planning documentation showing:
- Petal layer construction techniques
- Color and texture approaches
- Assembly methods for dense petal arrangements
- Multiple test pieces and experiments
Construction Challenges
Ranunculus presents unique difficulties:
- Petal count: Dozens of thin, delicate petals per flower
- Layering complexity: Overlapping petals create depth
- Delicate structure: Individual petals must be thin but strong enough to handle
- Center detail: Tight central bud structure
Planning & Research Phase
Planning Images
The most extensively documented plant in the series, with comprehensive planning showing:
- Detailed petal layer analysis
- Multiple construction technique experiments
- Color and texture material testing
- Assembly method development
