This 'HO' scale model was created as a desktop display. It includes a button in the back that played a sound clip. The base was hand crafted, and an acrylic dome was created (not shown) to protect the model.

Model Railroad Diorama
The model train diorama won a prize in a Model Railroader Magazine photography contest. Attention to every detail was given to this HO scale scene. The snow is sifted baking soda, and the icicles on the power lines were made from white glue cut to shape. Low voltage "grain of wheat" light bulbs were used to provide lighting. Model includes a coal company, miner's shack and a narrow gauge Shay locomotive.

Bear Country
Bear Country is a 1/24 scale miniature set
we created for a 30 minute children's video produced by Adam Mensh.
The 3 ft x 4 ft set covers a scale area of 75 ft x 100 ft and includes a
forested area and four bear caves.
Mining Car Miniature
From photos
and measurements taken on site, a detailed drawing
is created that can
be used to construct a scale model.
The scale
model of the mining car is made from a variety of
materials including styrene, stainless steel wire and brass.
The scale of this model is "S" or 3/16" = 1 foot. A penny
placed in the mining car model
reveals the relative size.

Model Jupiter Planet
A model solar
system was created for the award winning film short The Speed of Light.
Jupiter, shown here, was created as part of a nine planet solar system model
by airbrushing an 18" sphere. While CGI has a
place, many directors still prefer practical effects (live action) whenever
possible to get the most realistic look, even on 70 mm film (IMAX).
The message is clear - get it on film and "don't fix it in post."
