In our first model making introduction workshop, we created a basic model of two platforms and a figure in the 1:20 scale.
The measurements of the different platforms consisted of:
1000 x 1ooo
2440 x 1220 x 4011
These measurements are consistently used throughout film and TV when creating platforms.
To begin with, I struggled cutting a straight line as the ruler kept slipping and losing grip, therefore to overcome this, I added masking tape to the back of the metal ruler to stop it from sliding. Similarly with my first platform, I didn't take into account the thickness of the card which then added height to the final design and therefore the measurements were not exact. However I overcame this with the next platform making sure it was exact.
Some of the materials used throughout this model making process include:
A3 cutting mat
swan Morton scalpel
masking tape
metal ruler
scale ruler
pencils
PVA glue
