微缩模型:如何用普通的材料构建细小而复杂的世界
Micro-Scale Modeling: How to Construct Tiny, Intricate Worlds From Ordinary Materials

由专筑网邢子,韩平编译

Joshua Smith是一位澳大利亚南部的微雕及模型艺术家,以筑造微小而复杂的微观世界为职业。他的工作展现出令人吃惊的观察能力以及非常优异的技术,他主要着眼于那些城市环境中被忽略的方方面面,比如城市角落的污垢,被人丢弃的香烟,还有那些陈旧褪色的涂鸦。所有的模型均以1:20的比例进行重塑。Smith从他以往的艺术职业生涯中抽出身来,凭借他的创造力和天赋,投身于模型的制作中。

Joshua Smith, a miniaturist and former stencil artist based in South Australia, constructs tiny, intricate worlds for a living. His work, which exhibits astonishing observational and representational skills, focuses on the "overlooked aspects of the urban environment – such as grime, rust and decay to discarded cigarettes and graffiti," all recreated at a scale of 1:20. Smith, who has been making model kits for around a decade, only recently chose to move away from a 16-year-long career creating stencil art. With his creative talents now focused on model-making, and all those skills which accompany the craft, ArchDaily asks: how do you do it?

让我们一同感受模型的制作过程!

首先,我会自己寻找或通过谷歌街景地图寻找我要复刻的对象。从拆解对象开始,比如分解出门窗,街道,配电箱等等,然后便可以对我能在模型中运用的元素加以选择。比如,有皱褶的卡纸可以做为卷帘门,中密度纤维板可以做为房子的基础。当我做好基础后,便在基础上用刷子和粉彩绘制图案并待它风干。模型将会看起来十分逼真,在此之后,我会为模型装配电路,包括内部的灯饰以及外部的灯带,还有一些电路传感器。

Take us through your modeling process!
First of all I find the building I want to replicate, either in person or using Google Maps Street View. From there I start to reverse engineer the building and break it down into components (i.e. the doors, windows, street, electrical boxes and so on). I then start working out which materials I will be using to create each component from scratch. Corrugated card, for example, for roller doors; MDF for the base of the building. Once I have the base built I lay down a base coat of paint and start weathering it using brushes and chalk pastels. It's during this stage that the building starts to look real and from here I start adding the wiring and the electrics for interior and exterior lighting and, in some cases, sensor activated lighting.

会用什么比例来制作模型?

我通常使用1:20作为我制作模型的比例,这样比较方便计算。我通常并不会仅限于在一个很小的细节上,比如一扇门或者一块砖,我会使用Photoshop去做一个整体的规划,从而确定我要选用的主体材料:制作基础的中密度纤维板,制作窗框的1mm卡纸,制作细节的黑色卡纸和制作窗户的0.25mm的塑料薄膜。还有喷漆,丙烯颜料,粉彩等作为图案部分,之后等待风干,整体模型会非常真实。

What scale do you work in?
I almost only work in 1:20 as I find it easier to do the calculations to create the scale version of the builds. I usually go off one small aspect, such as a door or a brick, and using Adobe Photoshop I work out the scale for the rest of the building. In terms of the main materials I use: MDF for the base, 1mm-thick cardboard for window frames, black card for more detailed areas, and 0.25mm-thick plastic card for windows. I use spray paint, acrylic paint and chalk pastels for painting and weathering the building to create the realism.

通常制作一个艺术品需要多长时间?完成一件完美的复刻品有多重要?

这取决于模型对象。一个最小的最简单的模型大概需要一天或几天去完成它。花费时间最久的作品是九龙微缩模型,几乎花费每天8到16个小时,平均每周六到七天的时间,这样制作了整整三个月。我试图努力去还原最真实的街景。我拍了很多真实的街道的细节,比如街角的污垢,墙壁的裂纹等等,作为我模型制作的参考资料。我希望达到一种效果,当我在正常光照下拍摄模型的照片,会让观者认为是现实中的场景,就是要达到这种以假乱真的效果。

How long does each artwork take to produce? How important is creating a perfect mimic of reality?
It depends on the build. The smallest and less complex ones can take from a day to a few days to complete. The longest build, which was my Kowloon Miniature, took three solid months working on average six to seven days a week and eight to sixteen hour-long days. I strive to create a reality. I take as many reference photos as possible to mimic every single streak of rust, grime and chipping of stonework. I want viewers to be fooled, if I take a photo of the completed work in sunlight, to think it is the real thing.

考虑过成为建筑师吗?

这是一个当我读大学时会思考的问题,但是回到现实中来,我认为成为建筑师并不是一件合适的事。相反,我认为我更适合作为设计师,我的微缩模型更多的是作为一件艺术品来展示,而不是为公司制作建筑模型。

Have you ever considered becoming an Architect?
It was something I considered when I was thinking of going to University but, back then, I was mistakenly under the impression that as an Architect I would have to design buildings which didn't fall down (I didn't realise that was more the role of engineers!). So instead I chose to study Graphic Design. My miniatures are mainly for artworks to be exhibited but I am now looking to create architectural models for firms.
