Model making Introduction

Updated: Oct 28, 2022

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
