Sabre Raven
CITIZENCON 2017 - FRANkFURT DE & Office Install 2019
INITIAL BRIEF:
Manufacture a 1:8 scale “Sabre Raven” model accurate to the clients in-game asset for their fan convention in Germany. Model will be placed on a plinth in a swooping position, however the model required a sub-structure to allow it to be suspended at a later date.
KEY FEATURES:
A 3mx3m game accurate model of the Sabre Raven, featuring 3d carved chemiwood for high detail elements including landing gear and guns.
The Sabre Raven model stood on its landing gear which required supportive internal structure. However the to allow the model to be suspended later, it also required a steel sub-structure.
The short timescale of 28days from confirmation to delivery of the first model for this particular client
SECONDARY BRIEF:
To suspend the Sabre Raven over a story two reception area in the clients office.
SECONDARY FEATURES:
After a significant period in storage, the model was given a rework with upgrades to her landing gear, lights and guns.
There were no fixed points to suspend the Sabre Raven model therefore the creation of an attractive hanging system utilising lift assets from within the game over 2 floors was required to conceal the truss scheme.
