LEGO City Space – Behind The Scenes

A detailed look into the work done to produce my LEGO City Space Centre intro for review of sets 3365 3366 3368. It’s the sort of film making no one talks about these days.

From Gerry Anderson’s work like Fireball XL5 through Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90, Meddings was a ubiquitous presence, developing and refining his model-building capabilities. It was down to his work, and the development of techniques that fool the eye, that so many of the miniature environments within which the Anderson television adventures took place were so convincing. The natural next step was the big screen James Bond movies, and Meddings brought his unique model-building skills to six of the films: Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only and GoldenEye. He also built vehicles and environments for Superman: The Movie, Superman II, Tim Burton’s Batman and, yes, Santa Claus: The Movie.

Here’s a quick quide to making brush on molds with 74-30 urethane rubber. 7430 is a great general purpose rubber that is great for casting plaster, wax, or Gel-10 silicone. You can thicken 74-30 rubber with Cab-o-sil or PolyFiber for brush-on mold applications. These molds were made over TexClay positives. Texclay is a meltable clay that may be poured directly into alginate to produce a sculptable positive.
