New Year catch up

I know you haven't heard from me for a while, there are good reasons for this, I assure you.
I was very lucky and got a 5 week internship with Foster + Partners in the run up to Christmas, so uni projects got shelved. Alas, despite working n some fantastic architectural models, the prestige of the clients and the utter secrecy they demand means... no pictures. Shame.
But now work begins again, I hope to finish the Supermarine S6b in the near future - most of the work is done and the 3D prints should be back soon, so not a huge amount to do (fingers crossed).
Right now I am planning the next big project which will be Dome 1 from the Valley Forge (Silent Running) - it will be an updated exhibition style model which will stay true to the original but have the added bonus of intricate detailing and a scaled interior.
For now, here are some pictures of the nearly completed Supermarine S6b. Coming along nicely I think.

Layout for hand-in, alongside the test piece.

Long-termer

The main project of the semester is a biggy! I am building a 1/20th scale racing seaplane - the Supermarine S6-B. Only a couple of weeks into the project and all I can offer you at the moment is a picture of the rough design maquette and the portions that I have 3D modelled for printing. More will follow as I progress...

Making up for lost time

Been a while hasn't it?
Don't worry, I have been busy.Starting the second year at uni has been eventful if not somewhat argumentative. I have been in an uphill struggle trying to get my projects off the ground as apparently I'm too advanced and I will be able to do that type of thing in my third year!!!
Beggars belief, when you get told to up your game - apparently that does not actually mean it.

But rants of victimisation aside, here are the latest bits!

First off the bat was a "Turbo" project, in 2 stages we had to re-create a tool in alternative materials in the first week and the turn it into an organic form in the second week. I did have a bit of fun with this one.

original safety knife and the scaled up wood and acrylic version I made

and now, it's a parrot! Well, a scarlet macaw to be precise

Installed and on display

Well, the beast is now on display at Triton Square on the Euston Road outside the bank HQ, for one week only - I go back at the weekend to take her down again.

Vrooooooomm!

It was great to be able to take the family down to see it in the flesh rather than just listen to my ramblings and the odd photo from my phone....

On air!

Here we go! I'm in it a few times - I will put an album up with some freeze frames to prove it!

The time is nigh!

Oh yes, the car goes on display to celebrate the release of the advert which airs on Monday.... keep your eyes peeled for my ugly mug on a TV screen near you!

Time to dust the old girl off

Well, back at Asylum this week, pulled the lego formula 1 monster out of storage for a little TLC before we install her in the bank's HQ for public display.
Anyone remember putting anything back together and standing there with an apparently spare part wondering "where the **** does this go then?".
She will be in the Euston Road Plaza for one week only! Get there if you can...
