I had some left over PVC plastic from a recent project and wanted to recycle the material (make it useful for something else). I knew that the material would be ideal for the mini house as it is strong in terms of its properties. Also i really like the aesthetic appeal this material gives off when polished ad cleaned up.the construction approach.
In terms of making the mini house I first experimented by bending the PVC. The initial idea was that i would form the house using just two different cut outs, one for the roof and sides...the other being the base and front/back of the model. The greatest angle of bend i wanted to achieve was 90°, the smallest being 38.7°. What became obvious early on was that due to brittleness of the molecular structure, after some pressure the material actually snapped. This is the only method that
