Model Buildings - Portraits with a difference. Unique, Individual and Unusual

I'll make an individual handbuilt model of your house to give you fond memories if you're moving home.
A model of your friend's or relative's house makes an unusual and unique present for them.
These are miniature replicas which will provide an intriguing display - an ideal anniversary, wedding, birthday gift.
I also make 3D (decoupage) pictures if you prefer. My most popular are wedding groups (especially in front of the church), happy couples in front of their house, your dogs playing - anywhere!

I also make models of shops, cafés, public houses for you to promote your business - they're a great talking point for your customers.
NEW FOR 2012 - ADD LIGHTING TO YOUR MODEL FROM £30. ASK ME FOR DETAILS!

I'm now taking orders for mid - end February 2012

I'm based in Tameside and work mainly in the Greater Manchester, Cheshire and West Yorkshire areas, but look at the "You take the photographs, I make the model" tab for other locations. You can see photographs on here, but the actual models show more detail. I'd be happy to bring you a couple of the sample models from this website to show you in more detail.

My model displays - and the modelmaker himself

Most, but by no means all of the models I make are around 13" wide, 8" high and 6" deep - just like the model shown on my display banner above. They're designed to hang on a wall or stand on a small shelf. A lot of my customers like to make a shelf to show off the model with a greater effect. I can supply wooden supports to match the colour of the frame I have done if needed.
Take a look at the box frames I've done in other pictures on here. Move your cursor over the pictures to see any notes I've added. I can and do make complete models of buildings and the land around them too - I'm not limited to any standard frame size.
I take both measurements and photographs so I can incorporate any specific feature you particularly like - never yet had to say - "no - that can't be done". I'll build to any scale - all I need to know is how big you want the model, and I'll work my magic. Have a look at my pictures to see for yourself!
It usually takes up to a week to do the whole model, but if you need something quicker than that, I'll always do my best to speed up the work.
As for cost - much depends on the detail you want on the model. SEE MY CONTACT PAGE FOR MORE DETAILS or call me on 07860 659939

Are you a local business registered on the Tameside Business Family website? I'll give you a 10% discount on the price a model. Give me a call or email me for details. And don't forget my offer on making a second model of the same building at half price - see my offer on the website.
