At this point, the model is almost finished, but there are still a lot of rough spots, and in this case, further finishing is required with polishing.

Polishing is actually a process of wood carving, but it is also very suitable for use here.

Xu Wen held a carving knife in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and some sawdust splashed out.

The morning sun had just shone in through the side window, and fell through his cheeks, reflecting the disturbing dust like golden sand.

And under his carving knife, the lines began to flow, as if something intangible had been injected into it, and it was like an illusion caused by the change of light.

After further modification, Xu Wen first smoothed the surface with a centipede file, then polished it with knotweed, and finally polished it again with dog skin.

After three times, the surface of the entire wood carving is smooth and moist, and it has a jade-like texture.

Xu Wen glanced up at Tianguang and lowered his head again.

The building model is almost finished, but there is still a lot of work to be done. And a lot of these tasks are time-consuming, unreasonable, and really difficult to complete on time.

Xu Wen closed his eyes and reviewed the process plan he had drawn up before, and also took this opportunity to rest his eyes again, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear that he had never seen in three days—he tried to open his swollen slitted eyes wide.

The prototype model is painted, which is the process standard set by the examiner, so their model must also be painted.

The model is small, the paint is relatively thin, but at least three coats are required. When painting, it should not be too thick or too thin, but it must be uniform, which is difficult for such a fine model, and the color of the paint needs to be adjusted to be consistent with the original model, which is time-consuming and difficult, and is not so easy to complete.

Xu Wen began to mix paint.

Paint color was key, and it was the reason why he had to leave the job to daylight.

No matter how bright the lights and candles are at night, their brightness and the degree of color restoration are not as good as the skylight, and if you do color-related work at night, you will often find that you are accidentally biased, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, even in modern times, this era of incandescent lamps and energy-saving lamps has long been dispelled by the dark night, and a lot of handicraft work is still done during the day. For the sake of this, it is this "positive color".

Mixing paint is an art that also requires a lot of experience.

Xu Wen has no shortage of experience now, and it didn't take long for him to dip a little lacquer with a small stick, hold it up under the skylight to look at it carefully, and then nodded.

The paint color is very similar to the color of the model's surface, but slightly lighter.

This difference will disappear completely after three coats of paint, at which point the difference between the two will be difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Of course, there are no two identical leaves in this world, and it is impossible to be exactly the same. Unless it's really the same paint as in some brain teaser stories, you can paint the new stuff and then the original color sample.

After adjusting the paint color, Xu Wen put on the first paint first, and put it aside to dry.

During this time, he was not idle, and began to pick up some other materials that had been prepared, and began to renovate them, preparing to make the garden decorations around the gazebo.

At this time, many people got up from their workstations, began to take a list, and hurriedly ran out.

At the beginning, like Xu Wen, he was the only one who did all the planning and all the materials. Almost all of the others took only the core material of the model, which was the elm.

Now that it's their turn, they finally remembered what they lacked, and rushed out one by one, lest they would be one step behind others and have to wait in line for a while.

Of course, at this time, those who can find that they are missing things are still a group of candidates who are relatively good.

First of all, they took enough elm wood and related auxiliary materials, and did not encounter the problem of insufficient materials in the entire production process of the core model.

Secondly, their progress is indeed very fast, and the speed of doing this step is similar to that of Xu Wen.

However, the lack of complete planning in the early stage is presented here.

You have to get the materials again, and they all get it all at once, and you will waste more time than others.

The exam lasted only three days, and it was very intense to complete all the models. One more step behind is one more likely to fail than others!

After three days of examining and two examiners invigilating for three days, I was really tired.

In fact, if you really let them do the work, it is not a problem to do it for three days, but the invigilation is essentially nothing, and the supervision to the end is a little doubtful.

At this time, there was finally movement in the examination room, and the examiners were in good spirits and smiling.

Of course, candidates are not allowed to leave the examination room without permission, and they must raise their hands to apply to the examiners before leaving.

The examiners listened to them with a smile and a groan, and at the same time registered, and quietly scanned the entire examination room to see if the situation of the other candidates who had not yet indicated it, whether they had no plans for the time being, or if they were in some other situation.

As a result, they noticed something interesting.

Three candidates also made this progress, but they were still stable and did not panic at all.

Their feet are full of materials, and at a glance, they know that the whole process has been planned and fully prepared.

The identities of these three candidates are also interesting –

Jiang Wangfeng, the heir of the lone seedling of the first-class workshop Tianzuo Pavilion, the two people before and after Tong and Yu Shui, the head of the mansion and the head of the county, Cen Xiaoyi and Xu Wen.

After all, Jiang Wangfeng's background is extraordinary, and his background is more profound than everyone present, which is not surprising.

And Kiri, these two...... Tonghe is not ranked high in Jiangnan Road, and it is not very conspicuous, but I didn't expect such talents to emerge in a row......

Jiang Wangfeng sneezed, rubbed his nose, and glared at Cen Xiaoyi with slanted eyes.

His physical condition in the past two days has not been too good, nasal congestion and dizziness, typical symptoms of wind and cold. Fortunately, the medicine given by his mother was quite effective, and he boiled a bowl on the stove every night, and it finally didn't get worse.

He knew very well who was behind them two days ago, this guy wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and get rid of the two threatening opponents, him and Xu Wen, so that he could get the triple head, and from then on, Jiang Wangfeng couldn't let him succeed whether it was for Xu Wen or for himself.

Xu Wen's current situation is worse than him, and no matter how strong his strength is, he may not be able to fully exert himself.

So in the past two days, Jiang Wangfeng endured his physical discomfort and did everything he could.

Now there's only one last step left.

Jiang Wangfeng's gaze returned to the work in his hand, and he once again devoted all his energy to it.

At this time, Xu Wen happened to enter the same step as him, and began to make the garden scenery outside the pavilion.

This step seems to be just an additional part of the building, but Xu Wen knows very well that this is the finishing touch of the whole model - where the real soul lies!
