Bog Sun-Jumping Spider HS
1st Model
Animals & Creatures Fantasy & Sci-Fi Props & SetsA fictional radioactive lizard species called "Lacerta Radiationis". A Geiger counter with a proximity sensor and buzzer circuit. A UV light enclosure.
FMP: Radioactive Lizard and Geiger Counter
FMP: Geiger Counter
FMP: Radioactive Lizard (under UV light)
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.
2nd Model
Animals & Creatures Exhibition & DisplayA 100:1 scale model of Heliophanus Camtschadalicus, the bog sun-jumping spider. This model was a external brief for the company BugLife.

Bog Sun-Jumping Spider (UV eyes)
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.
3rd Model
Fantasy & Sci-Fi Props & Sets Events & AwardsA 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.

Potion Bottle 2
Potion Bottle (close up)
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.
