About

Although I have not specialised yet, my main subject of interest is props and models for film. I aim to always use a range of varied materials and techniques in my work, making sure that my models are best suited for the project at hand. Despite my main interest being working for film, I am open to try out many different avenues, and I am always striving to learn more skills and techniques to better my work.

Model 1

A fictional radioactive lizard species called "Lacerta Radiationis". A Geiger counter with a proximity sensor and buzzer circuit. A UV light enclosure.

Techniques: sculpting, moulding, casting, CAD design, 3D printing, filling, sanding, spray painting, hand painting, wood machining, simple electronics, and soldering. Materials: plastilin, armature wire, silicone, fibreglass, fastcast, PLA, filler primer, cellulose paint, acrylic paint, fluorescent paint, milliput, and MDF. The radioactive lizard "Lacerta Radiationis", otherwise known as "T0DD", was sculpted, moulded, casted and painted. Due to the use of fluorescent paint, T0DD has the ability to glow under ultra violet lights. This is why his enclosure contains two posable UV light bars. The Geiger counter was designed in Autodesk Fusion, and 3D printed. A simple circuit was also installed into the Geiger counter. An ultra sonic proximity sensor relays the distance of the sensor to an object to an arduino uno, which relays the information to a buzzer and LCD screen, making the classic Geiger counter clicking sound.

Model 2

A 100:1 scale model of Heliophanus Camtschadalicus, the bog sun-jumping spider. This model was a external brief for the company BugLife.

Techniques: sculpting, moulding, casting, CAD design, 3D printing, and wood machining. Materials: plastilin, silicone, fastcast, translucent PETG, MDF, cellulose paint, acrylic paint, acrylic dowel, and milliput. The body of the spider was sculpted in plastilin, moulded in silicone in two two-part moulds, cast in fastcast, and then painted with cellulose and acrylic paint. The legs of the spider were designed in Nomad Sculpt and then 3D printed in a translucent PETG. The base for the model is a sheet of MDF with an acrylic dowel to help support the spider. The eyes of the spider were also coated with a UV cure gloss, meaning that they glow slightly blue under UV light.

Model 3

A Alice in Wonderland themed table centrepiece that consists of a large elixir bottle and four biscuits. This project was an external brief for EPH Creative.

Techniques: vacuum forming, wood machining, moulding, casting, CAD design, and 3D printing. Materials: thermoplastic sheet, cork, acrylic tube, acrylic sheet, MDF, PLA, wood veneer, cellulose paint, and acrylic paint. The elixir bottle was made with vacuum forming the main sides of the bottle, with an acrylic tube and sheets for the stem and cork for the cork. The biscuits were designed in Autocad Fusion and then 3D printed and painted with cellulose and acrylic. The base of the model was made from MDF and then covered with a wood veneer. A strong priority for this project was durability and reproducibility.
