About this 3D model

This is a re-design of my tesselating flower coaster.

A re-think was in order and I decided an inlay method would be the best way to go. Not only would it give me the freedom to have as many different coloured petals as I would like, there was the challenge of creating two models which must fit together and appear seamless.
