I used to do it for a living.
At which point it takes on a different perspective......
It turns into work?
(Out of interest, what kind of model-making; architectural, effects, technical?)
I have a bunch of 1/72 kits in the loft; I'm hoping to get round to finishing some them once the toddlers give me a little more free time (so probably around 2037 then...)
My bold.
Exactly that.
Mostly product - I trained as a product designer, relatively little architectural (thank god - booooorrrriiiinnnggg - too many windows), no SFX although plenty of people I worked alongside did SFX.
I did stuff ranging from paper or foam conceptual ideas, to fully engineered, working prototypes.
You got SKY TV? Footprint shaped remote control? I did that, (No, I didn't invent it, like with the rest of my work, there was a team involved), around 25 years ago. It has developed over the years, but the fundamental shape remains the same as it was 25 years ago.
Flown business class on BA? They were the first to introduce full length beds. I did the conceptual 1:1 scale foam modelling for those. (Somehow, as a result of that job, my courier bags have ended up having aircraft seat-belt buckles
)
Titan washing machine? (Look it up) The people I was working for did most of the development for that. I played my part.
Beer fonts, for Carlsberg, Stella etc etc.
Samsonite luggage - I made models for all that they put on luggage trolleys in the early 90's
Also, loads of work for museums, The Science Museum in particular.
Anyway, this is just turning into a list.
Time to get back to Brian's gallery
