Here I used photoshop to merge multiple stills from the Weird Science movie, I did this to get the difference between them which resulted in an image of the set with no actors. I could use this image as a reference to create the desk. 

Then I started making the desk. I drew out all of the pieces of the desk in 1:20 on white card then I could cut them all out to put together.

I started painting the desk and realised I should of done that before glueing as the desk was very flimsy and I had to be very careful so it wouldn't come apart. 

I also started making the chair. This was definitely the hardest part as the card was so so thin and the chair is very small. MOst of the time I had to use tweezers as it was so microscopic to work with. I also used my bedroom chair as a size reference for this chair.

After paining the desk I made lots of small objects like books, CRT monitors, records and boxes to put on the desk. I love how the records turned out I think they look awesome leaning against the speaker. I think I probably should have made more things to go on the shelf as it feels a bit empty.

This is how I photographed the model to use as the front of the toy packaging. 

I will need to use photoshop to fix up the image to make it look more presentable and period accurate.

I used white card as a seamless but will need to fix up the image in photoshop.

This is a mood board I created to get an idea of how 1980s toy packaging looked so I could design mine. I particularly like the transformers on on the top right.
