Make scale models

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to make three-dimensional (3-D) physical scale models in response to specifications. It does not cover the use of 3-D digital software.

It applies to individuals who work in many industries and use any 3-D form to make scale models as an essential part of the design process for a range productions or events.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare to make scale models

1.1 Clarify scale model requirements based on relevant documentation, verbal briefs and consultation with relevant people

1.2 Identify potential challenges and plan work to minimise risk in consultation with relevant personnel

1.3 Select techniques for model making consistent with project requirements

1.4 Confirm presentation requirements, including timelines, for final scale models

1.5 Confirm equipment, materials and work space requirements

1.6 Set up work space and equipment according to safety considerations and organisational procedures

2. Complete model construction

2.1 Use safe work practices to make preliminary models representing core dimensions in line with specifications

2.2 Review preliminary models against objectives and specifications in consultation with others

2.3 Confirm that intellectual property and other relevant legislative requirements are met

2.4 Make required adjustments to models

2.5 Complete models to project objectives

2.6 Present models to relevant colleagues in line with project and organisational requirements

2.7 Follow organisational storage and inventory procedures

2.8 Seek and use feedback from others to improve own skills

Evidence of the ability to:

identify appropriate equipment and materials to make three-dimensional (3-D) models

establish a safe work space for the use of equipment and materials

use selected techniques and processes to make models that satisfy project requirements

communicate with others during preparation, construction and presentation of 3-D models.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe ways in which model making is used in specific industry contexts

explain common model making processes and techniques, including the physical properties and capabilities of equipment, tools and materials used

outline ways to present finished scale models

list work space requirements for the production of models, including set-up of work space for particular types of work

summarise issues and challenges that arise in making scale models

summarise intellectual property issues and legislation associated with making scale models

explain work health and safety procedures that apply to scale model making.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

documented scale model requirements and organisational procedures

tools, materials and equipment required to construct scale models

interaction with appropriate people.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
