Big Ben Model Kit


For my Product Design GCSE coursework my design brief was...
  • You are required to design and prototype one such kit. The kit will need to be appropriately packaged and contain everything the user will need to complete the task including detailed instructions
  • The market research department has suggested the following range of kits from which you should make your choice.  Construction, Transport, Buildings, Textiles.

For the project I decided to design and make a model kit of Big Ben in London. In the end I got 87/90 so it is well worth making. Many of the techniques have been done through industrial machines that were available to me at school. But all of this project can be done without it but might take a little longer.

To start the project I used Pro desktop to design a 3D sketch with dimensions. This was able to use this to draw 2D designs of all of the pieces that I would eventually laser cut or use the CNC miller. With all of these designs i was able to begin. The table below is a step by step guide taken from my diary of making.





The photos of the finished model are shown below.
