Domiciles Gameshow Concept Bid Miniature Set Model

Construction Phase

Populating the Model and Adding the English Channel Sea

People were to be added to show the scale of the model and give a real feel with the 3 contestants and the host.

I purchased 1:25 scale figures. I painted these using the same spray paint into lid to make paint pots. This provided a strong but thin paint.

I had a set of painting clips that held them up to paint.

I created life rings with oil based coloured clay Plasteline.

I did this as did not have Fimo clay that could be hardened in an oven at the time of experience using it. This will be done at a later date.

My gold thread was added to simulate the rope holding the contestants, but the preference would be something looking old and rotten but strong.

As the Plasteline is still soft this was loosely tied on. This was to show how they really were prisoners with little chance of escape.

These figures where superglued onto the dock. This glue was painted over and simulated planting onto the glue resin.

The intial sea was done witn blue foil. I had thought this looks poor quality and replaced 2mm royal blue plastazote foam for a more carpeted look but think now that should have better left as was.
