Models or miniatures when destined for film and TV are a different prospect to display models where accuracy to scale is the most important factor. Knowing what is going to sell the model through a camera lens counts for so much when building a successful model set or foreground miniature. There are few productions with enough time or money to build exact 360º miniature replicas.

Digital mattes are used more frequently to replace model shots but there is still a place for the traditional skills and tricks of the modelmaker, especially when enhanced by digital post production techniques.
Sorry, I cannot display the flash slidehsow for one of the following reasons.
1. Your browser does not support Javascript.
2. If you are using RapidWeaver, please make sure your theme is using the most up-to-date version of the javascript include file.
Models can still compare favourably with digital mattes both on terms of quality and cost but they require forward planning and experience to make the shot work.

Our experience of CAD/CAM design and automated production can take modelmaking to another level. We can produce accurate and cost effective models in a fraction of the time that it takes to produce the whole thing by hand.

Computer controlled production techniques may breathe new life into a dying art.
