University of Hertfordshire BA (Hons) Model Design: Model FX Projects and Personal work (second year).

Turbo A

The brief was to create a replica of any chosen tool using various hard woods followed by casting the tool in resin and creating an animal using the resulting cast. I chose to turn a circle cutting tool into a cartoony Doberman hound.

'Design Process and Realisation' Project:

'The Raven' VTOL

I produced a 1:46 scale model of the gunship flown by 'Kruger' (Sharlto Copley) as seen in Neill Blomkamps' 'Elysium' (2013)

The Raven, original concept design by TyRuben Ellingson, with paint scheme and surface detailing by Christian Pearce. (This is not my work)

A number of techniques where used to construct the piece, 3D printing, turning, milling, silicone moulding and resin casting. The camouflage, insignia's, decals and reg numbers where painted using a variety of laser cut stencils and some parts required hand painting.

Turbo B

The second 2 week turbo project involved creating a beetle of my choosing at a larger scale 'as though it where a museum piece' Using only basic tools, processes, machinery and reductive sculpting techniques.

I created the bizarre 'Giraffe Weevil' (Trachelophorus giraffa)

Contextual Model: 1:6 Scale 'Chappie' Action Figure prototype

I produced this entire 8 week project through creating a complex 3D printable design in Rhino 6.

The context; it was to be a piece of film merchandise, a semi articulated action figure intended mostly as a collectable figurine.

Blueprints created in Corel Draw 2018

All parts where designed to fit tightly together in order to create friction between the 23 move-able joints and where printed using a combination of SLA and SLS 3D printers.
