A collection of incomplete concept projects often produced at short notice for things like job interviews, unpaid work experience, projects that had the budget cut, quotes for projects, ideas needing funding and resources I don't have etc.
Often these show my latest sketch and CAD development skills.
My LARP prop weapons designed and created under the name Merlin's Armoury whilst in college.
They were constructed with fibre glass core structures contained in Plastazote foam and latex skins for mock combat fantasy game use and theatrical props.
A variety of swords, axes, maces and more exotic items. By far the most complex of these was the Decimator Hybrid which covers many pages.
3D creative design work carried out and learned at Creative Media Skills art dept training centre at Pinewood Studios.
So far have done the Prop Making Essentials and Miniature Model Making courses taught by Leigh and daughter Lauren Took of Mattes & Miniatures Visual Effects Ltd.
These are own projects but with a more practical use. Often I jury rig solutions in a messy manner out of what is to hand.
Other projects were more in depth designed with sketching and CAD then carried through or roughly made with the low grade tooling and low budget I have to hand. These tend to be completed up to prototype level at least.
Work on other’s projects as work experience, employed or team projects such as the miniature model making course at Creative Media Skills. Here I do not have creative control or input but working on more professional projects.
