BA1B Pre-Time Machine/Post Column Process Report

My current work stage is the task of cutting in the decimated zBrush column into a Maya column to create the Low Poly Model. I'm having a bit of trouble connecting the bottom part of the column and some of the edges wouldn't connect so I'm going to try a different method and do it along side my time machine, as a sort of "break-but not break" I guess, and after I complete a set amount of work each day.

This is a rough timetable of how I would ideally like my stages to be complete:
Week 1 (14th) - Design + High Poly
Week 2 (21st) - zBrush + Low Poly
Week 3 (28th) - Texture + Baking
Week 4 (4th) - Materials
Week 5 (11th) - Fixtures

Of course this is subject to change and I will keep a more detailed itinerary in my phone as the time that it takes to build my models depends on what I actually design. I can finish stages and start things early but I don't want to run overboard, if I were to give myself some leeway on the Low Poly as I know I have an event that weekend so perhaps a day or two over.

Ideal times I would like to finish/give to stages:
Monday 14th March -> Friday 18th March - Design
Saturday 18th March -> Tuesday 22nd March - High Poly Model
Wednesday 23rd March -> Thursday 24th March - ZBrush

(This is when I'd like to have my column completely and definitely finished so I can do the Low Poly model of the time machine having had more experience in this section and not have to worry about doing two sets of low poly models, textures and materials at once.)

Friday 25th April -> Monday 4th April - Low Poly
Tuesday 5th April -> Wednesday 6th April - Textures and Baking
Thursday 7th April -> Wednesday 13th April - Materials
Thursday 14th April -> Sunday 17th April - Fixtures/Finishing

After each step I have competed, I will write a blog and if I were not to complete a piece in the time allotted, then I will create a post at the time explaining. These posts will also talk about how I found working to these certain time constraints I have given myself.
I have so much work to do! I guess this will help with my time management. I guess I'll jump straight into it:
