Life-size mock-ups for products showroom.
The client for this project sent us two images from their website showing their groundworks products as “vertically exploded” graphics and asked if we could reproduce the images as three dimensional models. We said yes straightaway and came up with the solution of using four clear acrylic rods to support the separated layers. When we delivered the finished models the client’s response was: “ I just wanted to say that the models look fantastic - we were both on site yesterday when they arrived and were blown away. I can't wait for more of the business to see them”.
Generic missile model for Defence exhibition event.
The client for this project designed guidance systems so wanted a life-size model of a 155mm missile for their stand at one of the UK’s largest exhibitions for the Defence industry. Exactly 1m long, the missile needed to look authentic but not clearly identifiable as an existing product so we evolved this generic design through a series of drawings, amending it at each stage based on feedback from the client to finalize colours, numbers and shapes of fins, etc. Made from various plastics with a combination of 3D printed parts and laser-cut parts, the model weighed less than 5Kg and was designed to slot onto a clear acrylic stand at an angle of 45 degrees. It was supplied with a custom-made flight case with a tailored foam interior.
Three industrial models for an event in Rio.
A producer of specialized equipment for deploying military boats and vehicles via parachute into hard to reach areas, the client for this project asked us to create models of three of their core products for an event in Rio De Janeiro. At 1:20 scale the models were small enough to be easily transportable (the biggest was less than 500mm long) but still needed to show a high level of detail to demonstrate the characteristics of the product. We supplied all three models with custom-made Perspex covers and sturdy, waterproof travel cases with tailored foam interiors.
High-quality industrial model for exhibition event.
“I’ve got to say you’ve done a better job of building that, than we do the real thing. Honestly, the level of detail looks amazing!” This was the client’s reaction when we sent him photos of the model – and it wasn’t even fully finished at that point. They were equally impressed when they received the finished model, so much so that a director from their US and Canada based partner company got in touch shortly afterwards to order a second model to be shipped to their US offices. At 1:10 scale the model was just under 1m long and came with a custom-built Perspex cover.
Realistically detailed farm landscape for milk producer.
This is the second 1:32 scale model we’ve produced in the last 3 months – you can see the previous project if you click on the Recent Projects tab above and scroll back to October. As you can see from the photos, this scale allows us to show a high level of realistic detail in the landscaping and the structures. It’s also useful because a lot of detailed “off-the-shelf” items such as cows and vehicles can sourced on line. This model is actually a direct physical representation of a CGI model the company had produced for a previous marketing promotion.
