Answer one question only on the A3 pre-printed answer sheets provided.
1 A range of equipment is required when working with modelling materials.
Design a storage unit that would hold the equipment shown. The unit should include a flat surface
that could be used when cutting materials.
(a) List four additional points about the function of such a storage unit that you consider to be
important. [4]
(b) Use sketches and notes to show two methods of holding items when being stored. [4]
(c) Develop and sketch three separate ideas for the storage unit. [12]
(d) Evaluate your three ideas. Choose one idea to develop further and justify your choice. [8]
(e) Draw, using a method of your own choice, a full solution to the design problem. Include
construction details and important dimensions. [12]

important. [4]
(b) Use sketches and notes to show two temporary joints that could be used in lightweight
flat-pack items. [4]
