Further props that I worked on collaboratively are pictured above. These are historic props that people either started and didn't have time to finish or were simultaneously working on other projects at the time.
(Top two images) The chest was a box made to contain all of the historic props so they could be brought onto set easily and quickly during a quick break. To go with the historic theme, we decided on an old chest or trunk design, and used the technique of base coating, then a rocker to create a grain in a darker colour.
(Bottom left) The Medusa head was left painted and with hair pinned in. With the prop being handled on the show, glueing the ribbons down to the head would be a safer alternative to sharp pins. Someone had already tried this using the wrong adhesive, therefore beginning to melt through the polystyrene.
(Bottom right) The rocket needed 'fire' coming out of it as a finishing touch, so I made a paper template before finding off-cuts of light lilac and sparkly red fabrics.
