Domiciles Gameshow Concept Bid Miniature Set Model

Construction Phase

Armed Blockade Patriotic Sharks with Lasers

The concept here was to combine the nasty unwelcoming mentality of the xenophobic far right, GB news, racists with their nationalistic keep foreigners out, using the English Channel as a moat as they complain about boat crossings mentality,

with comical ridiculousness straight out of Austin Powers to show how ludicruous the thinking is. Im planning to add Warhammer lasers or similar.

The original idea had been to incorporate 1 or more war ships with a British feel such as Nelsons Victory ship or HMS Hood from WW2, but these were clearly likely to be very expensive, detailed and complex especially at size. This would be the case both with a model and full - size scale size.

This was downgraded to models of sharks both at model and full scale.

The top half of sharks are smooth and fairly simple both in shapes and colouring. These could be carved from polystyrene, wire mesh, paper marché etc and skinned with fibreglass. We only need the top half.

Sharks would really deter and fit as channel guards.

The funny side in line with the game show makers mentality, would be to add the likes of flags, Rule Britania tattoos and then go Dr Evil from Austin Powers and arm the sharks with laser guns or similar using war hammer weaponry.

At a model level I just went to my local toy shop and purchased a £2.00 packet of rubber hollow sharks. used Stanley and scalpel blades to splice them and glue on the flags.

When using superglue and accelerator I saw it left white stain steals of hardened glue. Instead of this messing things up I noticed they could be used as wakes and movement streaks so I painted the streaks with the glue.
