Formation and Assembly of Detail Model
During the model making process, I was tasked to complete the detail model. I decided to do something that can show elements that haven’t been presented to the overall model, and in that case, this would be the staircase and bike ramp.
I started by sketching out the dimensions of the staircase as to the design manual for roads and bridges specification.
I decided that the easiest option for producing the detail would be to make it out of foam board. I measured out the stairs and scored the board before folding it into the desired position.
Then using a glue gun, I fixed it into the desired place.
I then undertook a similar process for the sides back and underneath of the stairs with Drew from Hazelwick Sixth Form. This formed the main stairs.
Then using pins and art straws, we fixed the railings to the side of the stairs and glue gunned the banister on. Finally, we added the bike ramp which was made from a model of an I beam. This was also fixed into place with a pin as to represent the concrete anchor which would be the fixing in real life.
The final detail was scaled at 1:10.
I hope to make annotations on the model as to show literally where this complies with DMRB guidance.
