A love of the architecture of Scotland inspires my personal model making but commission work can be as broad as you like.
What do I make? I make scale, three-dimensional buildings and structures in a range of materials; card, styrene, resin, foamex, clay, brass and nickel-silver to produce details and textures. The construction starts with a strong card or styrene shell and concludes with details, paintwork and weathering.
Detail parts can be made from all sorts of materials and processes. I embrace traditional and modern materials & processes. You can find me carving stonework in modelling clay, designing for laser-cutting and metal etching or using 3D print to provide fine and accurate components.

Small or large buildings, the attention to detail is the same
A pair of platform shelters at Arrochar & Tarbet station – similar buildings but lots of detail variation to consider.One aspect on ‘The North British Hotel’ – a model that graces one side of the station entrance at my client’s rendition of Glasgow Queen Street stationThis commission reproduced a station office in Glasgow that was lost to redevelopment in the 1970s. Studies of old photographs provided the material to draw up as accurate a model as possible.

How does it work? Work starts with research, drawings and sketches. I estimate the job and quote you a fixed fee. If you agree to go ahead, I schedule the build!
Research can involve digging through online catalogues, public archives and books. Sometimes it can be a proper local history challenge.
