Model Making in 1943

 This seems very laborious as it suggests casting and firing single scale bricks. I do remember using Pyruma although I wasn't around in 1943.  I did once make a small Welsh slate building at 1 : 72 scale from slate chips. I filed these smooth to form an outer face then constructed the building stone by stone.  It looked superb and I can't imagine a more realistic method of achieving the same result. Imagine how long it took !

Keeping Up With The Times

Have digital models really taken the place of traditional physical models?

Not really, for both methods of presentation have their place, often side by side. I have found that in recent times, a number of clients are again showing a preference for the physical model which has no equal in public consultation and is often still the preferred method to support a planning application.

Over the past year I have been helping to re-build Libya, Aston and rural Northamptonshire as well as working on a number of religious projects to name just a few.

I  keep up with the times and now offer Sketchup modelling as an additional service. Some examples will be found on this web site. A recent housing scheme in Buxton was presented in original and amended versions, the design having been revised during construction. This is where digital modelling is at an advantage as modifications are quickly incorporated.

Social media has come to play an important role in business to business relationships and I am up to the minute with Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook.  Many of my enquiries now come through such contacts, often from unexpected sources. I have recently advised on the social campaigns of a number of  businesses and have successfully created extensive and active networks. This is a service that we are now able to offer to new clients.
