https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/03/thomas-doyle-dioramas/ artist dealing with catastrophe using models choose one or more work and discuss (why does he include figures unlike Lori Nix?)

He uses figures to give the scene/model more life to it and the fact that he puts figures with the models that make it more interseting to who ever looks at his work. 

Lori Nix does some nice work but i think adding fugres like he does will give her work some life to it. Like her work is really nice there quite large scales that she works on but like i said i think she should add figures to her work to give it life and just to make her work more interesting to the viewsers.

Scale Electrics - what is it it? types, cost? and scale. Are we working to the right scale? if not why not?

Scale electrics are race track models that you can buy and make cool scenes with, there are various types that you can buy small and large they can cost around from 200 to like 40 depending on where you buy your from and the quality of the race track.

I think we are working on decentley sized model becasue we are able to fit a good amount on the track and get some good shots of the track. The trees and the grass, dirt also made thr track feel more alive like its an actual place.

Home study: Harry Potter (Hogwarts flyover): Have you been to Harry Potter world? Explain…what it was like? or why this type of film is not your main area of interest - then watch youtube link and comment on models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvgngWlr1ro

I have been to harry potter world ive actually been to two harry potter worlds one in Florida and the one in watford there both really good the one in Watford shows models and the car ect stuff that you would see in the movies its called the making of harry potter, The one in Florida is really cool they have a wand shop and a robe shop including the sweet shop everything from dyiognally and the castle ride witch is really cool in my opinoin.

The model of the castle is really big as you can see the castle is pretty big compared to the size of this man that is standing next to the model and the detail that goes into these models is insane and the senery that they make for these models is just outstanding its just really good like all the little windows and trees and ect.

Gerry Anderson: Stingray and Thunderbirds (who is he and how did he use models and larger scenes? A couple of pictures or Youtube links to help explain) Behind the scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eAR-LGk30I and this behind the scenes - what scale did they work at, how did they shoot it? Why do you think it was popular? 

It was popular at the time because there was nothing like it ships goings to space and some cool action, Gerry Anderson was inspired to make the thunderbirds becasue there was a mine disaster in 1963 west germany. The show was made in 1965 which made a big impacted on telivention.

Some of the characters are quite a huge scale but it depends on what scale they are working with as you can see an example of one of the ships they used thunderbird 1 its quite a big model for the set that they worked with.

They also made the strings on the puppets visable on screen.

Lori Nix – images of her work and comment on scale and the story she tells. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv2-9TTfwjk

The story that she tells is that a hurricane moved through her home town, and destroyed a lot of stuff there. So she make buildings / citys that are destroyed.

She makes models that take up to 10 years and once she throughs that out she's ready to start a hole new one. She also doesn't do the work on her own she has her partner to help her by focusing on the detail of the art projects that they do together.

David Neat (model tips) - https://davidneat.wordpress.com/2013/10/22/model-making-basics-creating-surfaces/ add link and discuss whether the site is useful.

TIPS:

useful tip would be for instance is Foam that you could use to make the wall patten and paint it to make it look like a realistic wall.

Testing colours before you actually use it on your actual project. 

The importance of visual research and observation.

https://www.modelscenerysupplies.co.uk (name three types of materials or techniques used that might be helpful)

This type of material is pink oven dry clay is what i used for my model but if you want a more delicate type of clay i would recomend the white clay its more soft and more squishy to use but it is more difficult to use but the pink clay i more harder so it wont squish as much but it also means you can be more rough with it unlike the white clay.

You can dig more harder in the pink clay due to the hardness but the white clay u cant due to the softness of the clay.

I would recomend using proper clay tools like a smoother , a scalpel and ect to help you make the model what ever way you like it.
