Techniques to Create Scale Models

Techniques for model building

“Dear students, we have reached the end of the course, I hope you have learned many new things. Remember that the task of making models requires a lot of patience, practice and experimentation. It is not important that each element of your first project is perfect, but that you take a tour of different techniques and materials that will serve you for future projects. In the world of models there are infinite possibilities and resources, so it never hurts to constantly test and investigate the possibilities that exist. In the resources they will find the plans and the archives with which they will be able to carry out the same project that I have done, but they can also develop and design their own project. For this, I recommend that you choose a simple interior space. They can take as a starting point a space in their house, this is very practical because they can take the measurements of each element, which greatly facilitates the process. They can also take an image that interests them, such as an artist's picture, an illustration or a photograph. If you take this path, I also advise you to take real objects as a reference. The measures of some elements are usually quite universal: the length of a bed, the height of a table, a chair, a step, an old door, a modern door, a balcony, and so on. I would love you to share your process and final project in the forum. It can also be very enriching to share your experiences and advice. You can ask me your questions and ask me for advice when you need it. Thank you very much for choosing this course and I hope you enjoy this beautiful task of recreating miniature worlds as much as I do! ”

We reviewed my influences and the things that inspire me. Then we saw all the materials that you can use. We saw some basic notions of design, such as the use of scales, drawing plans and assembling the reference PDF that we use throughout the project. Next we begin to build the space. First we start with the general structure and then we saw how to make the floor, the walls, the moldings and the enclosures. Then we got more into t...”
