Time Bandits: Sky Citadel
Concept model for the Apple+ Tv Series Time Bandits
This version of the location does not appear in the final show, but we had a great time building it.
Build with a combination of 3d model prints, laser cut structures and scratch build components.
The whole model was made modular so that it can easily be dressed in different configurations in camera.
Based on designs by Ian Mcque and Brendan Heffernan

Early concept model work by Dale J. Mackie

Both a design model and a potential filming miniature. This model was scanned but never filmed.
Model maker Chris Menges for scale.
The concept model and its basic forms.
I roughly modelled the entire miniature in 3d first for design sign off. Some of the components were further detailed and 3d printed in the pysical build.
At this chaotic stage one can clearly make out what parts are model made, printed or cast from a mold.
Some towers were deliberately painted first to get an overall idea of the intended paint finishes.
