Model of the Middle of the World (La Ciudad Mitad Del Mundo) on TinkerCad
The project is a model based on the Middle of the World monument located in Ecuador, Quito. I made it because it was a class project about having to do something that represents Ecuador, so I chose this monument to represent it because it is very interesting and touristic. In order to make the model, first I look for a photo on the Internet of the Middle of the World, to guide me. Then I did some tutorials to know how to use the Tinkercad tools and to feel prepare the moment I have to create the model. When I already knew how to use the tools, I started working. While I was working on the model, I felt excited because it was entertaining to do it. Also I felt happy because it was fun to use different shapes and colors in order to create the model.

Make the Base of the Monument
To make the base of the model I had to make the center and the exteriors. So, first to make the base center, I used the cube shape and gave it a brown color. Later I used the cube shape again, but this time I modified the shape making it flatter and gave it a beige color. Then I put it on top of the previous shape. When I made the center, I started to do the exteriors that surround it. To make the exteriors I first used the wedge or roof shape, I put the shape twice in the middle of each side of the cubes that are the center, and gave them brown color. To properly position the shapes on each side, I had to rotate them. Then, to continue making the exteriors of the base, I used the cube shape four times, placing it next to or near the wedge shapes. Then, on top of the four cubes in the center, I put a small, flat, beige cube. Then I put a brown cube on it and on top I put a small, flat, beige cube. To finish the base, I put in the spaces between the cubes and the wedge shapes, the voronoi shape and gave it an orange color.
Create the Height of the Monument
To create the height of the monument I first selected the polygon shape. Then I carefully placed the shape above the center of the base and gave it a brown color to match the base colors.
Make the Top of the Monument
To make the top of the monument, I first used the cube shape, I put it above the height and gave it a brown color. Later I used the cube shape again, I put it on the top of the previous cube and gave it a brown color, only this time I made the cube a little smaller. Lastly, I used the sphere shape to make my model look like the true monument of the Middle of the World, I put the sphere on top of the cubes and gave it a gray color.
Put a Background Around the Monument
To put a background around the monument, I first decorated the ground with the terrain shape to make it look like grass. Later I put the sunflower shape on the ground twice to make them look like flowers, I gave one shape a yellow color and the other a pink color. Then I put the spinner shape on the ground twice to make it look like plants, and I gave them both a dark green color. To finish the background I added the tree shape and made it light green.
