After exploration of materials I concluded with choosing gun metal and glass for my materials. I chose these materials as I feel it shows and expresses the aesthetics that I wanted my model to covey. The glass emphases the fragile nature of the model as the gun metal shows the strength that holds the model together. 

The glass used as a blue tinge in it as I wanted to express some temperature feeling through the glass, so I have dyed my model blue to express that feel of the glass, although I left the centre clear as I wanted to express the detail of the centre as a focal point as the detail is quite beautiful. 

Here is my final model in final form and color ready for photography.
