I originally decided to try and create a smaller scale model. I started off by cutting six panels from a large corrugated card box. These were used for the side panels. I fixed the panels together using brown parcel tape.
The eraser was made from a circle of card and another piece of rolled card stuck together. The fixing for the eraser was made using two rolled up sections of newpaper. These peices were then placed and fixed to the side panels using the brown tape.I had planned to leave the model at this size but I decided to make it bigger. I cut another six panels from another lage box and stuck them to the original model. The tip of the pencil has been made using six triangles stuck to form a point.
I have started to paper machet the model. Once it is dry I will see if it needs anymore layers. If not I will use spray paint to cover the whole thing.
Hi Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteReally pleased to see you're so enthusiastic about the prop making. Just to make your life easier, be sure that you develope a mesh instead of cutting one by one each of the faces of your prop. I recommend you to have a look at packaging books to see how a specific mesh is developed for a specific shape (obviously, mesh for prismatic shapes have already been created!). This will make your prop look cleaner and more professional and your life easier! If you don't have or find any packaging book, I can give you a hand with that. Just ask.
Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteWell done with the props... sorry, I checked first your week 8 task, that's why I mentioned them. Still, any ideas of how you're going to paint them? Strongly recommend you to use the talent of Daniel and spray them. We talk about that in class... see you then.
