How to make the Borg Unimatrix

When we are going to do something very elaborate as a computer model, I like to start off with a physical rough model to give the computer model builder, so they have a good sense of what I have in mind. And, in this case, this is the Borg Unimatrix, the capital city of the Borg, floating in some remote region of space. And so I went in my little wood shop in the garage and made these blocks of wood, kind of an intuitive sculpture, using bamboo barbecue skewers and scraps of garbage, and just cut up little pieces of wood and glued them together.

To create this, it took me about a day and a half puttering around in my shop.
