How a Custom Scale Model Gets Built
Every custom scale model begins with a conversation. We start by learning what the model needs to do — whether it's headed to a trade show booth, a museum exhibit, or a client's front lobby — and gather reference material like CAD files, drawings, and photos.
From there, the team works out the right scale and level of detail for the space and the audience.
Once the design is approved, fabrication begins. Parts are 3D printed, CNC machined, and hand-finished, then painted and assembled with the details that bring the model to life.
Finally, the finished model is inspected, crated, and shipped to its destination.
