Finally doing the actual models after weeks of research and sketching. Finally…

The making of the factory chimney model.

I started with the construction of the factory chimney model. I use toilet rolls and masking tape to form the overall base structure of my model.

I added in strips of wish mesh to create an overused feeling for the chimneys.

Aluminum foil is added in to create a more industrialized feel for the overall presentation of the model.

The structure is then sprayed black to emphasise the negative effect it has on its surrounding environment.

Black paint and pieces of meshed wire are added to the base of the structure to signify that it is an age old problem and is corrupting the environment.

The final product!

 

The making of the cracked land model.

The second structure I did was the cracked land model.

I started with the creation of the cracked surface using linocut. Linocut is usually used for creating templates for printing. However, in my case, I used it to create the surface of cracked land.

The linocut design with its main lines done.

The linocut design with finer details being added in.

Brown spray was added on to give it an earthy texture.

Brown crayons were crushed to add a sense of realism to the overall model presentation.

 

The making of the melted ice model.

The melted ice model was the next in the queue.

I first cut out the foam pieces needed for this model. The foam pieces would serve as the melting ice.

For the base, I poured blue paint onto a piece of cut foam board to create the ocean surface.

After the blue paint settled down on the board, I added on the foam pieces onto the paint.

Small drops of blue paint is added onto the foam pieces to enhance the presentation of the model.

The making of the landfill model.

The last model I did was the landfill structure.

I started the project by cutting up materials such as waste paper, old clothes and other materials that are considered trash. It would be used as the main element for this landfill model.

After cutting up sufficient materials to be used as trash, I moved on to designing and producing my name initials.

I applied double sided tape to my name initials structure so that it will stick to the trash materials I made.

The name initials were put into the bag full of trash materials so they will stick to the initials.

The initials were put into crushed charcoal to give them an ageing effect.

Additional crushed charcoal was added to the model to further enhance the look of the structure.

 

And Voilà I am done!!!
