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.
Large industrial model for National Grid
At over 2m x 1.5m this large industrial model was commissioned by the National Grid to help with staff training and forward planning for installing new equipment on site. The model was made in two halves and supplied with a custom-built storage case for each section so they could be safely stored away when not in use. The model was made at 1:220 scale, the equivalent of Z scale in the railway modelling industry. This allowed the client to buy model vehicles and figures online to add extra detail to the model.
Sectional demonstration model for new kennel design.
We were commissioned by the DogsTrust charity to produce a compact, portable model showing sectional views through their latest kennel design. The model needed to be detailed enough to illustrate the high-quality features of the design but small enough to be easily transportable. At 1:25 scale the model was less than 500mm long but you can see from the photos that we were able to show a high level of realistic detail. We also supplied the model with a sturdy, waterproof travel case with tailored internal foam lining.
Small industrial model for exhibition events.
At 1:12 scale this compact industrial model was only 500mm long x 270mm high but showed all the detail the client required to demonstrate their product but crucially was also easily transportable, especially as we supplied it with a foam lined travel case. If you click on the first inset pic to enlarge it you can see a close up of the fine detail we are able to laser-engrave on the unit’s front panel.
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.
