Domiciles Gameshow Concept Bid Miniature Set Model

Studio Model Construction

The studio model was created much the same as other white card models only I made the mistake of doing the walls first then trying to stick them to the base. This was partly due to being in a hurry.

So the elevations and base were drafted by scaling up the measurements from my original 1:50 scale white card studio model.

These were then photo spray mounted to the flam board which was stuck together by combining superglue and UHU glue , using the superglue as the holding mechanism and engineering squared used to make sure the walls were perpendicular and vertical

The underside of the studio had powerful magnets stuck on to help hold the various sets that could be placed inside.

This was then coloured in and the section below details how I added features like door handles.

Construction Phase

Door Detail and Handles

To enhance the model, I decided to add door handles and some of the metallic trim on the windows found that the staples from a staple gun were the ideal size for the door handles on a model set to 1:25 scale.

The disc bases to the door handles were a chopped-up Lego Arial painted silver metallic.

Superglue was used to stick the staples to these bases, with accelerator spray.

Thin strips of sticky foil were used to mimic the window frame trim on the doors.



You can also see the inside of the studio model with the door handles in place.

Construction Phase

Adding in A Frame Support simulators

Simulated A frames were created to show how much extra space would be needed around the set model in the real studio. This shows difficulties that there would be in walking around the set or moving things like ladders and props.

Construction Phase

Placing Set Model into Studio Model

The concept set model was placed into my new 1:25 scale studio model so we could see how it would fit into the real studio to help with any adjustments. This also shows what could be the best way to orientate the set. Magnets were used to hold the set in the studio model.
