Process from beginning to end of a 'Titanic Sign' made at university; Part of our props term that focusses on a different project each week.
- Designed to suit one of the Titanic's life boats.
- Made to look like rusting bronze and iron.
- Originally made in MDF, then cast in rubber silicone.
- Final prop made of fast cast resin, then painted.
- Painting techniques used where dry brushing, sponging, and using wire wool to wear through different layers of colour.
- The images show, (in order:) 1. Body filler being applied to the MDF base to fill in the gaps between lettering and back board.
2. Resin cast after just being removed from silicone mould.
3. Bronze spray paint and black emulsion paint dried and weathered.
4. Final painted piece.
- Overall I'm really happy with this sample. I wanted to make a piece that looked as it if was made of metal that had been naturally weathered by salt water, and I feel I achieved this.
