A twelve week project in which we had to make a model to a context of our choosing. I researched into stop motion sets, examining their scale, foundations and overall look to replicate. I considered how an animator might animate a puppet within the set and so I designed it to break apart at key points. This project expanded my skills with miniature scale painting techniques by allowing me to experiment with many different surfaces, creating accurate representations of sandstone brick, painted wood and asphalt.

Leonardo Da Vinci's Aerial Screw Turned Museum Replica

An eight week project creating a museum style wooden replica of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Aerial Screw drawing. This model was made entirely from one piece of offcut walnut and calico fabric. Each element was turned on the lathe, sanded and coated in three layers of beeswax. I also utilised the mill to create precise angled holes to slot my pieces together. I learned how to steam bend 3mm dowel rods of walnut around a tool. I stretched fabric over the wooden frame of my sail. Then I strung up thread precisely across the sail.
