Industrial Model For The Offshore Mooring Market.

When we were commissioned to produce this 2.2m high display model of a mooring component for the offshore wind turbine industry, the client’s overriding brief was to keep it as light as possible to make their lives easier when transporting it overseas to exhibition events. They also wanted it to fit into two compact, flight cases, including the stand, so it could shipped as “extra luggage” on flights. Our solution was to use vac-formed plastic shells for the main body of the model and hollow box construction for the yellow end sections which kept the overall weight under 20Kg. To split the model between the two flight cases we designed it in four main sections that could be easily assembled on site. We then designed a stand that could be “flat-packed” into the flight cases but was also easy to assemble on site.

Cardiff Bay Visitor Centre Model 1:750 – Rebuild/Refurbish

Cardiff Bay Visitor Centre Model 1:750 – Rebuild/Refurbish Originally built in 1990, this huge model measuring some 10 metres long by 5 metres wide was in dire need of updating and refurbishing. The whole model had to be dismantled and brought to our workshops (in 28 pieces), where it was stripped back to its original components and completely re-sprayed and rebuilt. It was then reassembled back at the visitor centre, looking as good as new and ready for 15 more years of service. We have also built a half size copy of this model which features in the Architectural pages on this web site. The buildings are made from beech wood. Some landmark buildings are highlighted in white.
