The moon is made so the light can shine through, it has a pretty good result, don't you think?

Thursday 7 August 2008

Roof painted, starting on window flower pots, and second layer of gravel on the main set. So it's all good here!

Also, today I made a digi blue/tripod connection THING, so the camera I use (until I get a camcorder that actually WORKS!!) will fit on my tripod. (I might explain the plasticine at some point!)

House updates

Hey guys, I've just finished painting the house, I still have to paint the roof and add details though...
Photobucket
Doors! (will need silver numbers)
Photobucket
House - I originally was going to paint bricks on top of that yellow, but after staring at it a while, I think it looks good like that - as cob!
Photobucket
Here is a rough layup of what the finished house should look like, although the doors aren't in properly in this picture.

House ready to paint

Windows, roof

Okay, the house is coming along really nicely now. First, I'll start with the windows;
Photobucket
I made the windows out of cardboard, like most of the house so far, then measured, and cut out the holes for where they go.

Photobucket
Here is one of the three windows I made.


Photobucket
Next is the roof. In my designs it is tiled, so I cut out many many little cardboard squares, to hot glue on to the roof.

Photobucket
Nearly there! (sort of...)

Photobucket
This is where I am now! Still need a lot more to do, so I fill up the whole piece of cardboard.

GOOD NEWS:
The gravel has dried almost rock solid, and the grass is not 'hard' but getting along that way! This should be a great build!

TODAY:
I am planning to finish/nearly finish the house and start painting,
Make curtains to go in the window.
Start planning the big blue sky background.
Make a couple of telegraph poles (hopefully)
And maybe more! You will have to come back soon to find out!

Hey guys,

so I'm still working on the ship set I showed you a bit of, but I've been 'commissioned' to work with SJ MOVIES to help make a short series of episodes, with blob people, like the one seen in my most recent short, SURPRISE. I am making the sets, models, and puppets for the film, while SJ directors, Sam and Joe are writing the stories and designing the look.

Here are some pictures of the set being built so far: (click on images for a larger look)
Photobucket
Here is the wood I am building it on. It will be a sort of mini football pitch like one you would find in a park.
Photobucket
Here is once I put the first layer of grass on.
Photobucket
Here is a bag of 'bush' from woodland scenics. I am using lot of woodland scenics stuff in this build, that is what the grass is.
Photobucket
Next are the two goals I had to make. I started off measuring and cutting a piece of wood into several pieces.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Next i glued it all together...
Photobucket
...and painted it. More soon,
