All you need to know to get started commissioning a model. From brief and budgets, to materials and styles.
A little bit of time to breathe and relax!
… but not too much!
It’s been a busy time ever since last summer, and while I’m not complaining, I’m certainly glad to have had a little bit more time recently since my last model delivery. On my to do list is getting the website updated with the many and various projects that I’ve been doing. But in the meantime, here’s a couple that I’m particularly pleased with…
Anderston Kelvingrove Church, for Collective Architecture. The model showed the proposed alterations to the church, modelled in timber, with lift off roofs.
Edinburgh Academy proposed extension for LDN Architects. The proposed was modelled in timber, while the existing was modelled in grey.
So now, I’m working on some other bits of projects (you may have seen some of my distillery project on Instagram, @finch_and_fouracre, which still needs some finishing touches!), more of which to follow! And finally having a big old tidy up in the workshop.
Back to the studio...
I've been away a little while, off on maternity leave after having a wonderful little boy back in November. It's strange getting back to work, but I'm enjoying being here. I've just updated the website with some projects completed before going on leave, namely the Maglev train for NMS, a factory model for Nimmo and Partners, and this sketchbook for Glasgow Women's Library.

I've also had a few projects already since returning to work, so will be pleased to get them up online in due course.
As well as the more usual commissioned models I'm working on, I'm running a project with Scottish War Blinded, building four dolls houses based on listed buildings in Paisley. It's a fantastic project, and you can follow our progress on twitter (@model_paisley) and instagram (@modelling_paisley).
